JR> I am using Borland C++ 4.02.  When I compile a small program (108 lines 
of 
JR> code) that rolls some dice for me, it makes an exe file that is 79k in 
JR> size.  Is there anyway to make this smaller.  I would like my simple 
JR> program to be a lot smaller.  It doesn't really do that much, and I've 
seen 
JR> program written by other authors do so much more, and be smaller than my 
JR> little program.  Any help in shedding some light would greatly be 
JR> appreciated.
You are not alone.  A simple Hello World program results in a 30k executable 
on my system (BC++ 4.52).  This is a known "problem", and I'm still working 
on a solution.
Actually, there is a solution:  Recompile the run-time library with exception 
handling disabled (#define NOXX).  Unfortuantely, the RTL doesn't want to 
compile without errors for me.
