Many, many years ago (1990-1991 or thereabouts) I performed a similar demonstration for a person I was tutoring. I wrote an assembly language program to print 200 bytes of text. The non-textual part was maybe 50 bytes or so (using the BIOS routines in the IBM-clone PC). I then wrote it in C. It jumped to a couple of K. Next, I wrote it in C, to run under Windows (3.0, it was, not even 3.1, which I considered the first marginally stable release). It went something over a meg. I don't even want to think about how it would come in today. This post was very amusing in its reality.
