Subject:	DJGPP & Quake

Quake uses almost no assembly except for the bare essentials...  First off, 
DJGPP's executables are pretty damned small if you know what you're doing.
1). Run strip.exe on them.  2) Use PMode instead of CWSDPMI 3). Use MLP to
compress them...  I have my phong engine rotating cubes and toroids at under
50k...

Second, DJGPP's assembly is far superior to Intel's, because it can be
optimized so much better...  It tells the compilers what it's going to
clobber, etc, so the compiler knows how to react, and it makes more sense.
Just because you're too ignorant to know what you're talking about and too
stubborn to learn a new syntax doesn't mean we have to listen to you attack
the compiler we're discussing on our mailing list or newsgroup.
