Hello everyone,

I downloaded all djgpp files for Win98 from the official djgpp
website, using the picker, and I installed it and configured it as the
documentation indicated. 

I am able to compile both c and c++ code, however, all my exe's that
are compiled with gpp are HUGE! 

For example a simple "Hello World" exe, is ~ 268,000 KB.
I use the following commands to compile the hello.cpp
	gpp -c -o hello.o hello.cpp
	gpp -o hello.exe hello.o

How can I make my exe's smaller, is there a switch that I can use to
do this.

Thanks in advance.

Katy
