        One way to reduce the size of the EXE program is to compile the
program to use a Run Time library (BRUN45).  If you have multiple EXE files
you will save lots of space.

        To generate a library full of procedures, use LIB.EXE

Generate a Library reponse file:

1.obj+2.obj+3.obj...nth.obj

File it as say Libresp.dat

To make the library:

        LIB @LIBRESP.DAT

Some features are lost using a run time library.  I will tell you more
about that if and when you come to it.

... Ahh! Come on George, just this one last little feature!
