subject: .exe size icc & link386

Hi All!

I'm compiling a friend's ROT13 implementation here, which compiles to
15K using Turbo C++ 3.0 (DOS), and the .exe is 35K using 
C Set++ FirstStep!

I compiled an almost empty program to check the size of the startup code:

int main()
{
return 0;
}

and linked using:

link386.exe statup.obj /NOE /PM:VIO,STARTUP.EXE;

and startup.exe was 12K!

Can anyone suggest a way to trim .exe size using FirstStep?

...awg
