Well, recently I decided to pull my 'SpaceWar' out of the dust, and
see about a few more modifications.  Since I now use MWC 2.0 
(instead of Megamax), I thought I should get it working with MWC.
Most changes were trivial, but the resultant code took 44K,
instead of about 33K, for the SAME program.  I find this a little
alarming.  That is a very substantial increase.

While trying to clean up some glitches, I discovered that using
'fopen/fgetw', while working with Megamax, would not work with MWC.
A few random substitutions of a pair of 'getc' for each 'fgetw' made
the whole thing work.  I have no idea how this could affect anything.
I am open to suggestions/hints.

This did make the program run identically to the one produced with
Megamax.  BOTH sets of spaceships were glitched identically.  I was
hoping for the glitches to disappear, then I could blame the compiler.
What I did try was to use 'Fopen/Fread'.  This fixed all my little
glitches.  Now that I think about it, I have been having lots of
strange things happenning with (little)fopen/getc etc.  Is this a
known problem??  Have I been struggling with a well-known bug??

Other comments:   I have been trying to adapt some Megamax code
which used in-line assembly code.  To use MWC, I separated out the
assembly code into individual little routines, and tried to get every
thing to compile.  HOW DO I TELL THE ASSEMBLER THE ADDRESS OF VARIABLES
IN MY C-PROGRAM??  It is easy with Megamax in-line code, just use
the variable's name.  Help!

Comment on MSH:  Has anyone gotten the aliasing to work? I can type
in their example 'set in .cmd lc="ls -l"', and it works just fine.  But
when I try to do something more useful, I can't get it to work.
For example, 'set in .cmd cds="cd d:\sw"', does not result in my
CD-ing to the appropriate directory.  Can someone offer a hint??

Thanks for letting me ramble...
