Do you use the commandline compiler or the IDE? Using commandline I get the
following results:

ASCI2PSC EXE    58608
ASCI2PSC EX     46608
HEXDHEX  EXE    31712
HEXDHEX  EX     26639
HEXDUMP  EXE    27952
HEXDUMP  EX     24079
HPGL2SCR EXE    51840
HPGL2SCR EX     39440
LEESUNIX EXE    28096
LEESUNIX EX     24592
LOBANALY EXE    28032
LOBANALY EX     22032
PSCKADER EXE    68016
PSCKADER EX     50192
ROTEER   EXE    35296
ROTEER   EX     30222

Grasped from a dir *.ex* and using the clipboard. .EXE is made by Cset++,
.EX is made by Borland C++. Its result is quite contrary to yours.

73 es cuagn,
 Henk
