   I've recently started using djgpp (yes, I've read the FAQs). It works fine, 
but I've noticed that my exe file sizes seem to be very large. Much larger than 
it would seem normal, and larger than the same source file compiled by another 
compiler.
   For instance, I recently compiled a short routine using Borland Turbo C++ 
and it came out to about 15k. I then compiled the same routine with djgpp and 
it came out to almost 144k!
   Does anyone know why this might be happening? And, more importantly, how I 
might be able to decrease my exe file size?

Thanks,

Michael Cervini
