- Strip usually just removes debugging stuff as far as I know.
- You can't tell which library functions are unused in a program
- automatically, so there is no way to tell what what you can cut
- out. I think there are programs for the amiga which can do this
- also. I know there used to be an option in Power Packer for it.
