Same program, using Manx Aztec C V3.6

producing only object file
cc -s test - 120
normal compilation
cc test    - 5944

Bear in mind that this is an OLD compiler.

Also, when I do cc -s blah.c, I get only object code, what does
cc -s -object blah.c  do on your compiler?  Does that produce 
only object code too?  The reason I ask is that it looks like
it does, but I see that your listing shows a.out* for that
compilation.
