If the size of DJGPP-produced executables seems too large, chances are
your setup leaves the debugging info in the executable (that usually more
than doubles the size). Use the -s switch when linking, and the programs
will be much smaller.

Get v2misc/mlpNNNb.zip (where NNN is the version number) from the same
place you get DJGPP. This is a DJGPP-specific executable compressor.
Please note that these are all FAQs. The DJGPP FAQ list is available as
v2/faq210b.zip from the same place you get DJGPP. The questions you asked
are discussed in section 8.15 of the FAQ. I suggest to browse the FAQ
before posting questions in future.
