Hi Nick

> BTW. Use JSR / RTS instead of Gosub / Return it gives u smaller faster exe's

No it doesn't, Gosub / Return get changed into JSR / RTS and nothing
else. There might be more if you have the debugger on, but in that case
you are obviously not worried about exe size or speed.

BSR / RTS might be smaller (2 bytes) and faster (1 clock cycle?) but
you're not saving much. If you really want to optimise the Blitz
executables, disassemble them and then scream in horror at the code it's
produced :)
