I'm new to programming, just so you know...
After writing and compiling a few simple programs with DJGPP, I've
noticed that the EXE is rather large... 80k! I'm guessing that this is
due the the compiler attaching all of the libraries and/or headers
used. If so, shouldn't the compiler check to see what code the program
actually needs, and only use that? This program is still quite small,
but a similar program compiled in TP6.0 is just a few bytes. Why is
this?
