     A friend and I were discussing the AmigaDOS Replacement Project (ARP).
He wondered how the ARP commands were kept so small.  Many of them are less
than 1K in executable form.  The only explanation I could give was that the
commands called routines in a runtime library.  Is that correct?  Does ARP
require a runtime library or do you just neet the library at compile time?

     Is there anything else that would explain how the programs are kept so
small?  Any information would be appreciated.
