OK! 2.953 creates a file roughly 520 bytes smaller for 'C'

Why is the C++ executable  507,145 bytes???

yikes!

More discussion please....
How does one get the EXE size down to something practical?

BTW: A nearly similar Borland BCC32 compile of HW.CPP
  results in 
.....A 07-20-2003 01:42        100   5357307D HW.CPP
.....A 07-20-2003 01:42       4958   95E194DE HW.obj
.....A 07-20-2003 01:42     143360   53C13363 HW.exe

1/5th the EXE size of the DJGPP !!
and only a 4953 object file....sheesh!

-----------------------
I am lost as to why STD::  is required under DJGPP, and
not under other compilers I have.  It would be nice to understand
the reasoning here.... THANKS!
