  I have a question about the size of the hol88 2.02 executable.

  After compiling hol88 2.02. using gcl-1.0, I ran `strip hol', and I got
this: 

-rwxrwxr-x   1 root     root      7119876 Nov  3 12:07 hol

  Later, I decided to make a backup copy, so I ran `zip hol.zip hol' and
got this: 

-rw-r--r--   1 root     root      1974189 Nov  3 17:44 hol.zip

  I am wondering if anything can be done to get the size of the
gcl-compiled HOL executable closer to 1.97MB than to its present 7.12 MB. 

  If so, at least on Linux, it seems to me it would be much easier to keep
the entire executable in RAM, rather than being forced on occasion to swap
sections of it back and forth between disk and RAM. 

  Bill
