True true... I suppose fargo is more based around teh amiga OS than 
 ST, but I think we've got some truly unique features taht are quite

P.S. on the no of cycles overhead on calling a lib... ther aren't 
any!! libs are just JSR'd to and the addresses and stuff are 
precalculated before the fargo program is run...
