I'm concerned about what's acceptable with executable size using Allegro to
create a -large- RPG.  Since I've never done an RPG with graphics (I've done
other things, but nothing of this proportion), I'm not too sure about exec
size.  What would be an acceptable size of the executable?

Note that I am already using the -s and -O3 switches.

Or should I really not give a rat's patoot and just concentrate on the game?

Thanks!
