Hi,
I have Cygwin b20 and I always get binaries of about 300 kb...
but this time it has reached over the limit to 7 mb!
The C++ program uses iostream and fstream libraries.
strip would make it 6.6 mb...
The program won't compile with VC Compiler 6.00 :-)
complains at write() and read() where Cygwin doesn't
and works great too! (but binary size 7mb makes the program
useless)
Any ideas?
Thank you!
P.S. I am not on the list, please CC a mail copy my mailbox,
that would be very kind!

Using Visual C++ 6(or 5, anyhow), when the old stream library was used, the
binary size is significantly smaller than the std::ofstream... I am not sure
whether it happened same way with gcc but believe gcc always supports new
standard better and is an excellent tool.
BTW, thank for more experienced guys in the list. Last time I was
complaining about a 518KB helloworld.exe, after stripping, it was 7.6KB,
--same with both mingw32 and cygwin. But now that you've done the
stripping...
