I would call it bad... :) DJGPP v2.01 'cracks a sad' if you don't
put the size prefixes on, whereas v2.00 doesn't... and you really
should put the prefixes on for readability. If someone else is
looking at your code in the future, they will be able to see what
is happening with data structures more clearly etc etc...
