Wow! 3K for one change? That would be true if calls to new functions were
added, but not at all true if no new functions were used in the changes.

For large scale projects, that do lots of different things, including lots of
math and function calls, then the resulting B09 object MIGHT be smaller, but
probably not by much. I have seen some large B09 programs, and would MUCH
rather use C! (and I used to think that C was cryptic)

It IS important that a C programmer be at least partially aware of the asm code
generated, as how the C program is coded may make a drastic change in object
size or speed of the program. This isn't any where near as critical for B09
code.
