Hi,
I couldn't find any reference to this in the FAQs or anything.
I compiled and run a C++ "hello world" program using gcc/cygwin
under windows 95 using all the defaults, and although it
works fine I am surprised to find the executable is nearly half a
megabyte in size. (462404 bytes, to be precise.)
Why is this? Is there any way I can reduce the size to something
more reasonable?
Many thanks
Richard Kaye
