Which functions are bad in jacking up system code toward the 64K limit? I 
know that ADX is near the limit, but how about some others? Isn't the 
IncludeSystem thing a kludge? And wouldn't writing dll's instead make more 
sense if the system code is particularly complex and over the 64K limit? At 
least the dll's could be called from any TS version (yes, I understand the 
16 vs 32 bit compiler issues). And wouldn't writing them in a more user 
friendly language (than EL) go smoother and faster once the language had 
been learned? At least there's more resources (and programmers) available 
for C++ or Powerbasic than 2 EL books and a manual! :-)
