You cannot write any C non trivial program without a library, because many things (like copying, multiplication, shifts, ...) are implemented as library subroutines. > Or is the C overhead too big for an 8-bit kernal? Depending on your knowledge and the program, the result will be several times the size of a comparable assembler program. > I wouldnt aim compatibility with this, but some sort of modern OS on an > 8-bitter. Existing "modern" OSes for 6502 machines are written in assembler (Lunix for example) and have memory problems despite this.
