Exactly -- you need to replace all commands in a particular library (the
Blitz Screen library calls in this case), which isn't always possible with
what's in StatsFuncs, so sometimes it'll result in smaller programs,
sometimes not, depending on what other commands you've used in your program.
A lot of it is just meant as examples of how to call OS functions, some of
it's just gimmicky...I was bored... ;)
See ya,
