You'll love GNAT Ada which uses DJGPP as back-end: the unstripped output
size of a 300-lines 3D demo make 340K ! The same in Turbo Pascal is 8K.
But which one is 8x faster ? The Ada code ! Be reassured, the EXE
size doesn't depend linearily on source code size; it's at least a sort of
y=ax+b function (x=#lines, y=#K in EXE). The b itself depends on the
library units used; what is sure is that it's much bigger in DJGPP, but
it's useful - cf the other messages in the thread...
