I found out about DJGPP yesterday and downloaded it.  I've never
programmed in C/C++ before, so this morning I downloaded a C tutorial.
It had some simple programs, so I tried them out and they compiled and
ran without errors.  Here was one of the programs:

main()
{
}

That do-nothing program compiled to an 84k .exe file!
Add a few printf statments and the size jumped to over 100k!  Do I
have something set up wrong, or is it including a bazillion libraries
that I don't need?  How do I fix it?

Thanks in adavance,

Ben
