I wanted to trim down the size of a program (~12K compiled) by eliminating
calls to printf and puts and using their ARP equivalents. I found I could save
2K by doing this is a "hello world" program that used printf, but there wasn't
any real savings when I changed my larger program over.

My question: do other Aztec C functions contain calls to them hidden away?
If so is there a way around that limitation? The DOS calls that are still
used in the program are fopen, fread, fseek, fclose. All references to
printf, puts, and fprintf have been replaced by ARP equivalents.
