Your right, this answer is BULL. We talked to John Toebes, and he said
to just join all the files together. That's how the amiga.lib is made.

When we tried oml, it blew out at less than 32k or so.

The X lib that we are trying to put together weighs in at 221k(greenhills)
without any debug stuff. 

We have not tried the "join" suggestion, but we will keep you informed.
