I downloaded Borland C++BuilderX today to use for messing around in C++, but it seems that the .exe files it produces are huge. For example, the following code is over 250 kb.

```auto

#include <iostream.h>
int main() {
  int name;
  cout << "How old are you? ";
  cin >> name;
  cout << "Wow, " << name << " years old huh?" << '
';
  cin.ignore(80,'
');
  cout << "Press [Enter] to continue";
  cin.get();
  return 0;
}

```

Does anyone know of a default setting that would be causing this or something else maybe?
