compiler optimization

Hi Usuing gcc-2.8.1 and i586-pc-linux-gnu, compiled gpc with no optimization, O1, and O2 (except part where O2 would crash) Then used gpc to compile 4 of the demo programs. While there was little difference between the no optimazation and the O2 version, the O1 version produced programs that were significantly smaller: pi 248155 bytes power 253838 bytes schemademo 152992 bytes stringschemademo 153690 bytes just thought you'd like to know thanks, Russ <russwhit@mind.net>
