Why fight to save bytes, when people write programs – and will continue to
write programs – that spend 4-10K on custom file requester code, or have 4-16
K just for gadget imagery? Does 10-20K here or there make much difference in
a two meg machine? If someone *isn't* running graphics intensive programs
that tend to hog memory, it makes even less sense to worry about code size.
I'm not aiming for the MS-DOS ideals of 1 meg application programs, of
course. Related question: what's the biggest commercial program anyone's
seen on the Amiga?
