-- DEC Ada executables are large, not because their compiler produces poor object code, but because their linker pulls in ALL code from any package that is WITHed. The have plans to correct this, I understand, but until then one (clumsy) workaround is (when code is to be delivered) make alternate packages containing just that code you need in the executable.
