For example, I replaced putchar(...) with write( 1, ..., 1) which probably stripped off 500 bytes, and then did some other stuff. The Check-drive-for-lfns function is removed, as it is unnecessary when CH/RM/MKDIR will just check for CF or AX=7100. That saved some space as well. And then there was changing all int86 and intdos functions with intr (so that only one register interrupt is used), getting rid of invokeDOS in suppl, removing some idle functions, making a few things static (by looking at the map file)... I could probably list off a few more things that aren't coming to mind again. This is why the new versions need to be tested (because everybody makes mistakes).
