I have a question about compiling the simpel HelloWorld program with DJGPP and RHIDE. If I run the source file from RHIDE it produces an EXE-file of 293.276 bytes. Compiling the source file with gxx -o in the DOS prompt produces an EXE-file of 287.456 bytes. Using the -s option or Strip command reduces the EXE-file to 139.776 bytes. These sizes are much higher than the 80 kb referred to in the FAQ so what am I missing? Is there a way to reduce the file size or is it just the way it all works? Regards, Claus Stenstrup.
