Um,  the conversion of the C++ Morfit "Gouraud Shading" example to Euphoria
resulted in a Euphoria  bound
executable of 251 Kbytes.

The same program in C++ as compiled by Morfit is 325 Kbytes. How  big in
Pascal I wonder?

The programs do exactly the same job and  the  source code is very close to
identical. Performance difference
is not noticable on my Celeron. The EU source also includes  our rather
large wrapper includes.

I know that this is a trivial example, but then, "hello world" was quoted
and  I don't think  this is less trivial than
that.

I'm not a C programmer so I guess there is some compiler jiggery-pokery that
would result in a smaller C++
executable ????
