If you include the proto header files for system functions in Lattice, then
you automatically include the #pragmas that make the stubs in Amiga.lib
irrelevant.  Since the stubs are irrelevant, they don't have to change.
Of course you can, with a suitable #define, cause the compiler to ignore
the pragmas and use the Amiga.lib stubs instead while still retaining the
prototypes, but if you've got a reason for doing this you better understand
the stub routines (as you point out).

)routines with LONG args, contrary to the new RKM description.  This

I haven't looked either, but I'll bet they say SHORT.
