subject: EXE size of different compilers

rc> Hi Paul. Just curious: how does the EXE size of msged differ when compiled 
rc> under Borland and Watcom ?

Borland for DOS - 219656
Watcom/16 for DOS - 209542

Watcom for OS/2 - 184462
CSET for OS/2 - 245392
GNU/EMX for OS/2 - 245248
Borland C++ 1.5 for OS/2 - 254990

Note that I don't consider this to be a particularly fair test,
as I have optimized for speed, not exe size.  Both DOS + OS/2
have the same functionality and both use a statically-linked
MSGAPI.  BFN.  Paul.
