Well, not really. You see, I compile a C hello world in the same environment
and it is 3072 bytes.

The problem is the C++ iostreams library is statically linked and includes
stuff for run time type information and structured exceptions (there's a
Win32 API for that I think, and using that would probably make my code
smaller).

Oh well. I still intend to use iostreams, I just wish there was a dynamically
linkable version or it didn't take *quite* so much code to do it's job.

Colin.
