Please take a look at this page:

I made his libctiny.lib because I was aghast that this c program:

#define EOF -1
#define PROMPT ':'
#define exit return /* UNIX Fix */
main(){
 float a, b;
 char opr;
 float result;
 while (putchar(PROMPT), scanf("%f%c%f", &a, &opr, &b) != EOF){ /* EOF = ctrl-z */
  switch(opr){
   case '+': result = a+b; break;
   case '-': result = a-b; break;
   case '*': result = a*b; break;
   case '/': result = a/b; break;
   default:
    printf("ERROR **** illegal operator\n");
    printf("Legal characters are +, -, * and /;");
    printf(" Try again\n");
    continue;
  }
  printf("result is %g\n", result);
 }
 printf("See ya");
 exit(0);
}

was 56KB.

But when I tried his libctiny.lib like this:

cl /o1 SimpleCalculator.c /link /NODEFAULT:libc.lib libctiny.lib

I got three errors:

SimpleCalculator.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _scanf
SimpleCalculator.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _putchar
SimpleCalculator.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _fltused

What this tells me is his libctiny.lib is really tiny. So tiny it doesn't have what is necessary for my program. Is
that right?
