The Watt32 libs are pretty big.  The regular WatTCP is a lot smaller and 
16-bit Internet apps built with it aren't extremely large (my own irc 
client, as an example, is 71K when compiled with Borland for 8088, and 
656K when compiled with GNU for 386.  This is an example case; may not be 
typical of other programs.  Also, it works better under Borland for 
certain reasons relating to Ctrl-C/Ctrl-Brk handling that I haven't yet 
figured out in djgpp.)

-uso.
