The 'old' RKMs have a "skeleton" library, written in assembler (mylib.asm),
at the end of Vol.2.  I am sure these sources are also in the Addison-
-Wesley manuals.

Another example you might want to look at are the sources of midi.library.
These have been posted a while back on usenet (and so you can find them in 
one of the usual places) and arwe on one of the Fish Disks.   This one also
is in assembler.

A while back, Matt Dillon posted on Usenet a "skeleton" library written for 
MANX C, too. All of this should give you a good start.
