The ads for Lightspeed Pascal 2.0 say that it produces the
tightest, fastest code of all Pascal compilers.  Well, I 
received my upgrade yesterday, and when I compiled a program
I had written with version 1.11 it was 7K larger!! The original
program compiled to 23K, and the compiled version with 2.0 
compiled to 30K...this is hardly smaller.  Has anyone else
tested version 2.0 to see what the size difference is when they
compile old source code? I would be interested in hearing from
you.
