Subject:	Compiled programs are HUGE!

Hi,

	I don't understand why the following source-code would be compiled into 200k. Please explain:

"#include <conio.h>
 #include <iostream.h>

main()
{
  char name[20];

 clrscr(); 
 cout << "Beware of the bear!" << endl;
  cout << "What is your name stranger?" << endl;
  cin >> name;
  cout << name << ", we've been awaiting you..." << endl;
 }
"

	So anyway, when I compile this insane (but incredibly short source-code) I get 200k worth of EXE. 
When using PASCAL to do an equvilent thing this would take up 3k, using BC++ v3.0 this would take up 30k. 
But 200k is outragous! What is going on?
