|        I compile even the simplest of programs (w/ only 2 statements)
&
|it's 275k!  Is it including hundreds of files when I compile (w/ gxx)
or
|what?  All I said was:
|
|#include <iostream.h>
|int main ()
|{
|    return 0;
|}
|
|Even this program was 274k!  Thanks for any help.
=========
Apart from the fact that this issue is fully addressed in the FAQs
which you ought to have read, you are doing something wrong:  this code
produces a 34K executable for me, including all the housekeeping crap
that C++ requires.
