try DJP.EXE ..the zip file is called 'MLP104B.ZIP'
i can't remember where i got it...(i'm pretty sure it's on the x2ftp
djgpp2 support directory) but i compiled a hello world .c program and the
file size was: 80,253 bytes -> 23,836 bytes...it seems like the program
compresses on the average of about 60% compression...hope that helps...
