HELP HELP
Im using DJGPP.
And I don't understand while the files that I compile are so big .
When I compile for example this small source code
(about 40bytes):

main()
{
printf("Hello");
return 0;
}

The exe file is over 100Kb Big .  Why ????
(I'm not using the Allegro libary or anything)

When I look at some other peoples programms
examp.:" DosArena."
 Its just about 200Kb
and The source code was really long.
I also made a simple game (using Allegro),
and the exe-file is over 700Kb heavy.

Please E-Mail me if you can tell me smth. about that. :)
