I do mind :)

It is a bug in compiler, the DOS part. Whenever I define an aray it adds the
size to the executable :) probably because it wants to "zero" the area at
program start. I have reported the bug so I hope it will be fixed. The bug isn't
in the Windows part of the compiler.

Hope this explains it.

My best,

Ed
