I currently use borland c++ 5.0. i basic compiled .exe is around 32kb. i created an exact proggie in MSVC 6.0, and it was 152kb. WHY? how do i setup msvc so that it will make exes as small as borland does ? borland is very buggy and i'm getting tired of it, msvc is smooth on my computer and is actually pretty nice, it has better error handling than borland also from what i've experienced. can somebody please help me ?????? I do not use MFC just pure API.
