Let me summarize...

If you write plain vanilla C programs, like the ones you were
taught as an undergrad, you'll get programs with two characteristics.
1) They will be portable to nearly any other C supporting environment,
and 2) they will be big.

To write *small* C programs for the Amiga, you have to write them
with the Amiga in mind.
