(TC 2.0 also made one executable grow by 25% over TC 1.5 )
    The default settings for TC 2.0 cause the debugging information to be
added to the executable. Either use TDSTRIP to remove it (comes with the
TASM / TDEBUG package), or change the appropriate parameters to eliminate
the debugging info.
    The size of .OBJ files has also increased due to the inclusion of dependancy
information. I haven't found a way to eliminate this, but it doesn't affect the
size of the .EXE.
    I've found TC 2.0 to produce .EXE files as small or smaller than previous
versions once the parameters are properly specified.
    (it **WAS** a bit of a shock until I removed the debug info.)
