It's huge if you install the MS windows parts.  The libraries and DLLs
for windows not to mention the extra executables make up a substantial
part of the overhead.  I think that if you don't use the windows parts
you can get a BCC installation in under 5Mb.

C++ is just Ansi C with objects, isn't it?  Don't install the class libraries
and such and you'll save even more space.
