You'll get the same amount, or close enough to it, even when you use other
packages like
Visual C++, Borland C++ ver 5 etc...etc.....  The reason is that the exe
includes all the info
needed to run your program specially that DJGPP produces 32-bit protected
mode apps.
This overhead is necessary and unavoidable.
Also, get into the habit of using:
int main(void) or int main() for your C++ programs :):) (the void between
the paranthesis is optional in C++).
but not void main().
How is that John Aldrich? :)
