The current version inCVS does, which will be released soon. The last
release does not.

Yes to some extent. I am working on this code at the moment.

Cool, about what I would expect. Not prohibitively big. How much more
functionality will be added to nano-X aftet this release? Will it get much
bigger?
I have become very adept at hand optimising code for elks so i can probably
get a much smaller binary sorted eventually.
