I am afraid, I started something idiotic here. I posted sizes of executible
programs compiled using C and Ada as a response to Ted Holden's claim that
part of the reason Ada was bad was because it created huge executible files
for trivial programs (i.e Hello, World!). I posted the sizes to show that his
claim was ludicrous. Instead that the size depended on the Compiler not the
language. I think that this group has shown this point, so I am asking that
we get back to more important subjects. BTW Thanks to Prof. Feldman for also
showing this point as well.
