While it's true that you wouldn't need to implementy 100% of the CRT, or
even have compatible function calls, you'd still need a wrapper to call the
ROM functions. At the very least you'd need a function that could grab
parameters off the stack and put them into the right registers before
calling the ROM function. This overhead would be minimal, but it would be
necesary. For example, a puts(char *s) would need to pull the pointer off
of the stack, store it in HL, and then bcall PutS, but that is about all.
Stupid like a fox!
