There are 3 major ways to reduce program size:
1) Run "strip" on the EXE you create
2) Compress it with DJP. You can get it on the FTP sites, it's called
MLPxxxB.ZIP in one of the V2xx directories.
3) Try not to use C++ functions unless it is truely necessary. HELLO WORLD in C
is only about 80 kb without compression/strip but C++ is around 200k.
