blink Because otherwise a binded file would be > 300 kb, if you consider all
the watcom libraries that have to be linked with it (graphics, sound) ...

And if a binded file is, for example, 540 bytes, than esspecially the older
systems, need to hack their autoexec.bat to get it to work. "Thankfully",
with the windows 9x systems smart-disk, mscdex, etc. are all loaded outside
of the first 640 kb, but I still remember a time, where I didnt even have to
try to run an executable of 580 kb.
