- Remember that when using any large programming development system that
- there will be an initial jump in code size, and as you progress, it will go
- down as the %age of your code.
- For instance, the 200K "Hello, world" program is excessive, but if you
- were to build in a complete accounting system, or something, the total code
- size would be ~300K (or so). You'll find that most windowing libs will have
- the same initial jump in code. The amount of code size jump will depend on
- the complexity of the lib. TV is a very complex, complete library.
