Re: [Dev-C++] Executable size is huge

[Maya <Esc...@ne...>]

Get a hold of you, man!!
Remember that as soon as you include <iostream> or <string> or any of 
the C++ libraries, you are loading a whole lot of huge templates. The 
C++ library is not what it used to be before the templetization. If you 
think that the small program you have writing is to big for your machine 
to handle, why not use the 'C' library. There is nothing wrong with the 
'C' language, it is just another methodology.

Happy new year every one, have one, have two, have three, but leave the 
car keys at home.
