RXDOSDEV ASM 63.854 20.01.2009 20:40 RXDOSCFG ASM 64.057 11.01.2009 19:55 RXDOSDV2 ASM 70.480 14.12.2008 21:30 RXDOSINI ASM 83.478 01.04.2009 15:55 RXDOSLFN ASM 119.038 11.01.2009 21:11 RXDOS ASM 160.990 01.04.2009 18:54

There you go. (The decimal point of the file sizes is none, it's the European thousands separator.) The RxDOSLFN file really contains the LFN handling only, while the main RxDOS file contains some tables and interrupt handlers plus the high layer of many subfunctions. These files, as opposed to the originals, already use tabs. If you're interested, the remaining kernel files (mostly below 30 KiB each) sum up to another 336,070 bytes.

You could argue that writing stuff in C is better, then :-D
