Hello All!

Why, apparently, are the resultant .EXE files created by Borland C++ for
OS/2 1.5 so much larger than their CSet/2 counterparts?  For example, the
disk that accompanies Real World Programming for OS/2 2.11 contains
examples compiled with CSet/2.  When I compile the same exact source code
with my Borland compiler, the EXE skyrockets in size.  Is there something
(aside from linking the DLL version of the RTL) I can do to decrease this
size?  Thanks...
