I'm new to C/C++ programming and DJGPP compiling. I have a question
about compiling the simpel HelloWorld program with DJGPP and RHIDE.

If I run the source file from RHIDE it produces an EXE-file of 293.276
bytes. Compiling the source file with gxx -o in the DOS prompt produces
an EXE-file of 287.456 bytes. Using the -s option or Strip command
reduces the EXE-file to 139.776 bytes. These sizes are much higher than
the 80 kb referred to in the FAQ so what am I missing? Is there a way to
reduce the file size or is it just the way it all works?

Regards,
Claus Stenstrup.
