RE:
	"Is it possible for those of us outside of West Chester and
	Los Gatos to use Alink to produce short executables?"

Yes. Search your Lattice C documentation. Basically, you should not
use any "Level 1 I/O routines". I remove as many Lattice routines
as I can, turn off stack checking, and adjust the Alink args.

Thus,

main()
{
	printf("Hello World\n");
	exit(0);
}

would become:

Putstr(str)
char	*str;
{
	Write(Output(),str,strlen(str));
}

main()
{
	Putstr("Hello World\n");	/* I may write a Printf someday */
	Exit(0);
}

LC2 would be given the -v switch.
Alink would get Astartup.obj instead of Lstartup.obj.
The library order is reversed (Amiga.lib+Lattice.lib).

The result should be under 5KB. Check the manuals for more information
and corrections to the above. (Unfortunately, some of the information
may be in addenda not included with the manual).
