Hi Odinn!

 GC> Why, apparently, are the resultant .EXE files created by Borland

 OS> Use these options with TLINK: "-B:0x10000 -Oc -v-".

Well, I gave it a try (again using V1.5) and had no luck.  Same size as
without those options.  I compiled it manually, as well as with BCC.  The
Tools & Utilities Guide states, "The /B option specifies...Using
this option makes applications smaller on disk, and improves both load-time
and run-time performance, since the operating system no longer has to apply
internal fixups."
