right ;)

the FreeDOS Kernel is a similar beast - small model, far pointers, and
a good deal 32 Bit in the filesystem
a while ago it worked both when compiled with MSVC 1.52 and OW
(actually it worked first with MSVC)
AFAIK remember, the OW compiled Kernel was slightly smaller then MSVC,
and both were significant better then Turbo C
I's say then that codesize is comparable, and probably depends on the
project. YMMV
