Ok, so can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong ? All my test (from a
simple "Hello world" upto a TCP/IP program with tasks) generate much
bigger exe-files (WIN/NT or OS/2) than the C, Pascal or Modula-2
compilers I've tried. I used the default settings. What switches are
needed to generate the smallest possible code ?
Regards,
Alfred
