program file sizes

[Joeyt]

I am having trouble with the file size of all the apps I develop. Usually the file size is 100K+, is this normal? Or am I making some really stupid mistake when compiling?

I made a test app with just the word "Hello World" in the middle and the app was ~160k. Any ideas?

Usually, that extra large helping of executable is the standard C++ library. If you write your "Hello World" in plain C, you will probably have a much smaller file.
