I assume that the official non-alpha lsr will compile without changes on
a native platform, unlike the alpha-980628 release? 
It needs some changes in order to compile under Win95.

However, it would be somewhat smaller if you hadn't included the *.d
files and the stubs.

If this remark includes the __dj_memmove I sent you for the
980101-alpha, I would like to hear about your specific concerns, so that
I can take your fear away. It makes memmove approx. four times as fast
and I think more people would like to see this included. I'll resend if
you'd like.
