Hello Kelly!

Replying to a message of Kelly Schrock to Peter Fitzsimmons:

 KS> Well, that's what puzzles me. OBJ files produced by Watcom are on
 KS> average twice as large as the ones produced by Borland's compiler. 

Notice that Watcom doesn't optimize when including debug info, while
Borland does. Why, well the Watcom compiler might reorder your code doing
optimizations, so debugging would be a bit strange.
If you didn't include debug info, then it's probably because the Borland
default compilation makes better code that the Watcom default.


Bye, Henrik!
