- Sounds like you're linking the entire Borland C run-time to your DLL. Also, if you're
- not using RTTI and exception handling, make sure your using the run-time library
- with no run-time exception handling support. That last faster would account for some
- of the size but not the magnitude your describing. I think it's most like that the
- run-time library is be linked into your DLL whereas the VC++ is just your code and
- dynamically linking to the VC++ run-time DLLs.
