If memory serves me right, in DOS 8086 assembly this would be less
that 20 bytes, most of them being the string itself.

A batch file will have a similar size.

If you disregard the wrapper for DOS apps on Windows, you also can write
a short HelloWorld app in Basic, or in HTML, and disregard the size of
the interpreter for that kind of "programs". Or use an emulator and
write ZX-81 or C64 programs...

But never cry if you got exactly what you asked for ;-)

Oooh, I've just had a look and I've still got the Russell, Raynor and
Butterworth BBC Basic exe on my PC!

32K of exe, and then I can *really* write the hello world program.

10 PRINT "Hello World"
20 GOTO 10

Ahhh... the fond memories. :-)
