Steve,
I (just now in response to your request) added a -nofs option to disable the
default -fs if -C is used, as in
unicon -C -nofs hello
to allow you to observe just how big the code blow-up of -fs is. Perhaps I
need a better name than -nofs.
What do you think, -FS ? --fs ?

Is there a command line option to turn it off if we want to experiment?
Thanks,
