Hi all. I am extremely new to FASM, and new to ASM itself, and I am wondering - are there any compiler directives to cut some "needless" stuff off?Although the "minimal" exe size is small indeed - 2kb, but, for example, gc++ compiler can cut it's exe under 1kb just using -strip.
Sorry for being dumb, but I've already googled alot on that subject and didn't find anything useful.

1 KiB minimum for valid PE.

NO. Use format binary http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?p=138069#138069
