I don't know. I do not even remember why -O3 was used.
I'll look into that, ..., OK< I looked into that. Here are the sizes with -O2

PSBOOK   EXE        96,897  10-20-96 11:21a psbook.exe
PSSELECT EXE        98,204  10-20-96 11:22a psselect.exe
PSTOPS   EXE       106,933  10-20-96 11:22a pstops.exe
PSNUP    EXE       108,399  10-20-96 11:22a psnup.exe
PSRESIZE EXE       106,035  10-20-96 11:22a psresize.exe
EPSFFIT  EXE       101,321  10-20-96 11:21a epsffit.exe
         6 file(s)        617,789 bytes

Not much different than when using -O3 and still a lot more than V2.0

However, I did notice one more thing. Before I changed te option to -O2 from
-O3 I did a

rename *.exe *.exe0

However, the .exe0 got overwritten by the new .exe files. So I guess that
the loader (or something) does not honor LFN = y.

That's because I blew it! I should not do such things when I am "awake" all
night. I forgot to include slookup.c in the compile line. It works now, but
as for the other cases I cited, the .exe is about 30000 bytes bigger than
the previous compile.
