What's wrong with 100KB?  Fortran has a large and complex formatted
I/O facility, and you pay for that with the executable size.  The
bloat is additive, so large real-life programs still get several tens
of KBytes added.

What is the problem with that, exactly?  How large did you expect the
program to be on disk?

IIRC is If I remember Correctly.

I cannot parse this sentence.

I pointed you to the DJGPP port of the GNU Pascal compiler the other
day.  Is something wrong with that?
