Re: huge executable??

I used Pacific C for DOS... seems like I did one a while back in Watcom 11,
too, and it wasn't much bigger or smaller.  I didn't think to try it with
GCC... but what is it about GCC and GNAT that causes that much of an
increase?  Just the static linking?  I'm not sure what Pacific C or Watcom
used, and GNAT is the only Ada compiler I've messed with... I guess I could
download the Aonix compiler for Win98 and see if I get similar results out of
it on my other machine.
