Can someone explain to me why the heck the following program (which prints
out an ascii table) is 159K when compiled with Clipper S87?
--------------
col = 0
row = 2
clear
@ 01,00 say '1234567890123456789012345678901234567890'
for num = 1 to 256
    @ row,col say chr(num)
    col = col + 1
    if col = 40
 	col = 0
	row = row+2
    endif
next
-------------

I guess the linker is including all of Clipper's library, huh?  Does a
better linker fix this?
