No. cleanstart does that (now obsolete due to 2.0). direct256.root just makes the
non-used direct page segment small (256 bytes as opposed to 4k). The program
still uses the stack allocated by ORCA/C via the MM, but it does not waste that
much stack space as it did before.

Anyway, this is a moot point, as no one should use 1.3 now that 2.0 is out :)
