Re: BDS2006 exe sizes

As soon as I get my hands on a new compiler, the first thing I do is test it out using a simple "Hello World" (or just a bare-bone skeleton program) with disabled Debug info, Range checks, etc. If the compiler produces a large executable from such a simple program as those, then they aren't efficient enough in my book.

To me it's much more important, what the compiler or development system supports in real life cases. Bicycles are fine, unless they'll have to carry away tons of payload ;-)

For your test you also should use a console application, because a GUI can add an bunch of features, which you'll have to disable yourself, before putting shame on an compiler.
