1)	I don't know about the differences between a 6350 and an 8000
	but, do you know if the compiler is the exact same on both systems?

2)	Terminal-independent code is most likely going to be larger than
	terminal-specific code. Trade-offs ya know :) 

Running terminfo/curses on an altos is not terribly depressing although of
course not perfect.
