It just occured to me that I left my favorite example of binary sizes
off the list.  Here it is again, but this time with the V7 bourne shell
included too:

	thoreau:~ 244> size ksh93-alpha v7sh-alpha /bin/*sh
	text    data    bss     dec     hex     filename
	1198476 47696   48316   1294488 13c098  ksh93-alpha
	41300   5384    2800    49484   c14c    v7sh-alpha
	533316  25328   39868   598512  921f0   /bin/csh
	601388  25232   26492   653112  9f738   /bin/ksh
	641004  31248   23636   695888  a9e50   /bin/sh
	763068  45048   1256156 2064272 1f7f90  /bin/tcsh

On i386, it's under 22kB of code and about 2.5kB of data!  Now, can
we have no more talk about code bloat please? :-)

Simon.
