   If you use Crt, the program does its own screen writing, and the output is   
   not cooked. Ansi sequences or other console device drivers are also not   
   used.

   No idea what you mean, but try to remove unit (win)crt.

   Even 32-bit windows programs that directly use the api can be very small.   
   (see  e.g. win9x notepad).   
      
   32-bit _is_ larger than 16-bit, but not more than +/- a factor 1.5. (not   
   everything becomes twice as wide). The rest is difference in approach of the   
   problem.
