Ehh, if you've listened to some of the discussion earlier, space in
the 512K ROMs is tighter than all getout.  So Commodore could very
well want to kill it.
 
> BTW: Who is 'they' ? Does *Commodore* say OldOpenLibrary should not be used?

Yes, it is officially "obsolete".  Besides, if you are happy with any
version of a library, just OpenLibrary("foo.library", 0L).  *And*
since you only open a library once per program, by the time you read
the executable off the disk, wait a few bazillion cycles for user
interaction, etc. I don't suspect the extra few cycles
make one bit of difference.
