Ok...Still on NT here, and I'm a newbie...Wanted to ask: Why is it, when I
comile the simple "Hello World!" program, it outputs a 384k file?
When I use gxx hello.cpp -o hello.exe
and the program is:
#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{ cout << "Hello World!\n";
  return 0; }
it compiles a 384 program...Why? And when I delete teh #include line and
change cout << to printf ("Hello World!\n");, it still compiles it to
113k...isn't this waaaaaaay too huge for that simple program? Is there any
way to optimize it to make it smaller?
Thanks...
