                         Hi, All!

    I'm new DGJPP user too and I have the same problem: sizes of small
executables(~100KB, I did not ported larger apps yet) are more than twice
larger then for other compilers. I had tried to remove exception code &
rtti(-fno-exceptions & -fno-rtti), but
it does not matter.
    Why is it?
