- It's huge if you install the MS windows parts. The libraries and DLLs
- for windows not to mention the extra executables make up a substantial
- part of the overhead. I think that if you don't use the windows parts
- you can get a BCC installation in under 5Mb.

- C++ is just Ansi C with objects, isn't it? Don't install the class libraries
- and such and you'll save even more space.
