Thakns for your e-mail.

I understand this largeness because of complex formatted I/O facility. But...

When you use for example Microsoft fortran or pascal compilers, the test program
exe size is 10-30 KB. I will appreciate Djgpp compiler team, If you know how
to optimize code to expected size.

It is ok. Send me an e-mail, when I can test Pascal. It did not compile with
Rhide and I dont know why.

Thank you.
