The lines that have __crt0 in them exist *only* to reduce the size of
the final executable (the FAQ tells you all about this).  A shorter
source that produces a larger executable would be:

#include <pc.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main()
{
  ScreenPutChar('\001', WHITE, ScreenCols()/2, ScreenRows()/2);
  return 0;
}
