Smaller than VB5, VB6, or VBnet, yes.  Which is what I was aiming for.
I had no intention of trying to write the 'smallest' of anything, just
a nice little compiler that was smaller that the BLOATED VB mess.
BCET compiled EXEs get down to about 20k at the smallest.

BTW, the sizes were for the entire runtime object file library.  Not
all of is used or needed for any given program.
