Hi all DJGPPers,


      The story so far......

       Making a 3d game with DJGPP+Allegro 2.2..
  
       version 1,  1000 lines of code + 100 lines "model data"= 200k exe
 
       version 2 , 2000 lines of code + heavy Allegro use = 350K exe

       version 3,  3000 lines of code + Allegro + lots of globals
                   used in testing + 500 lines of "model data"
                   consisting of initialized structures that hold
                   the 3d models.  = 4 MEG exe.

       Running strip on the 4 Meg exe gets me a 3.9 meg exe.

       Using Mathlib and Allegrolib.

       What is going on here? What has caused the exe to jump to 4 megs?


     Good day to all, STG
