I'm revising the CUG qed/Nuxi ed lookalike editor to run reasonably under
OS-9 (currently using a 6809-based system, with Microware C).  When I look
at the .r files, I see the sum of the code sizes is around 6Kbytes, but
the module size is about 16K (!).

I can understand that a fair amount of library function stuff is being
dragged in, but gee whiz...I'm amazed.  Any suggestions on making the beastie
smaller? ("Write it in assembler" won't be appreciated save as comic relief.)
I guess it just goes to show how big a win cio is under OS-9/68K.
