I looked into the comments made regarding the C Set/2 vs.
Watcom compiler when compiling the fbmp application. This
is what I found: (using the same source as the poster did)

Compiler       .obj  .exe
--------       ----------
Watcom         3373  18432
C Set/2 rel1   3342  34806
C Set/2 beta   3286  30572 You can get this off the developer CD-ROM
C Set/2 /Gd    3287   3488 /Gd = Using dynamically link library

Look at those .obj sizes, now who produces tighter code.

It just seems that the C Set/2 library is pulling in more
code resulting in a larger overhead. Don't forget that this
is overhead, and thus will account for a smaller percentage
of the file give larger applications.
