19990518: Garp program size

Brian,

My solaris executable is 4MB (unstripped) so the 2.8 Mb sounds
reasonable.

The standard flags used should be Ok, I was just wondering
if they had been changed to something like -O4 which would
unravel all the loops into linear code...that would be horrible.

I can try posting my executable for you if you want to compare-
Its posted as ~gbuddy/nawips-5.4/binary/solaris/garp/garp_2.01.
You may or may not be able to run my binary, depending on 
how up to date your fortran library is (SC4.x is expected).
