I am trying to figure why this makes such a big file. Anyone know a way I can make it smaller?

; hangup.asm MASM code
; Hangup the phone PRONTO !! :-)
; 107,008 bytes !!
.386
.MODEL FLAT, STDCALL
OPTION CASEMAP: NONE


include \masm32\include\windows.inc
include \masm32\include\user32.inc
include \masm32\include\kernel32.inc
include \masm32\include\advapi32.inc
include \masm32\macros\macros.asm
include \masm32\include\rasapi32.inc

includelib \masm32\lib\rasapi32.lib
includelib \masm32\lib\kernel32.lib
includelib \masm32\lib\user32.lib
includelib \masm32\lib\advapi32.lib
includelib \masm32\lib\shlwapi.lib

.DATA

l_RASCONN RASCONN 0FFh dup ({})
l_Buffer_Size dd ?
l_Conn_Count dd ?

.CODE

Start:

Close_Connection:

;look for RAS connections

mov l_RASCONN.dwSize, sizeof RASCONN + 1
mov l_Buffer_Size, sizeof l_RASCONN

invoke RasEnumConnections, addr l_RASCONN, addr l_Buffer_Size, addr l_Conn_Count

.if eax != 0 ; exit program
jmp Outta_Here
.endif

invoke RasHangUp, l_RASCONN.hrasconn
invoke Sleep,3000 ; give the system enuf time to end the connection

Outta_Here:

invoke ExitProcess, 0

END Start

The easiest way to answer why is to run the result through a disassembler and look at the output. Then, you should be able to tweak it to make it smaller.

Perhaps you have a file-infector virus on your computer and it's adding 95 KB to your EXE after you compile the code above

I found the main problem. I had some structure data in
the .data section that worked fine in the .data? section.

No viruses on my system. Some of my program attempts
might be scaring them off. :-)

Put everything in one section and link with filealign:512 and align:4096.

Multiple sections were an HLL thing, in Asm it's easier to just use one.
