Summary: Anybody optimized out the fat?

[]

Before I invest time into it:  Has anybody found a way to minimize the
extra junk Megamax C adds to simple programs (about 1500 byte worth)?
I _guess_ that much of it can be dispensed with for programs that do NOT
use stdio, I/O redirection, etc...

Also: has anybody made an alternative printf/scanf that skips the FP stuff
(to make it smaller). Has anybody bought the Megamax library source code
(offered for $50)? Is it worth it?

These sorts of optimizations-by-the-users have been done on the DRI/Alcyon
compiler.  Why not for Megamax?

- Moshe Braner

PS: does anybody know whether the Megamax Resource Construction program
will work with OSS Personal Pascal?  Is the .RSC file format standard?
How would you get the Pascal .I file?  Is it easy to translate the C .h
file to the .I form?
