I think you are absolutely right..  I have been coding and programming
for a while now in C++. Started out with C++ until I saw a filesize
difference between that app and a regualr C app does did the same thing.
I say if you are doing lots of work, cut 'n' paste the code you need.
That way, all the extra unused code doesn't get compiled in.
I do mostly crytography, so I HAVE to have small programs with FAST
runtime. I must say though, the C++ streams are bloated too much. They
aren't even as powerful as the functions in 'stdio.h' that I have been
coding my own streams. Do you have any tips for me?
