When I compile a "Hello world" in assembler, it's a LOT smaller than if I 
compile it under DJGPP.I just wondered, how much of that 80,355 byte program 
has the *potential* of being executed under given conditions (errors, etc.) and 
how much of it is just dormant code that can never be branched to?

Mike.
