 AdvSkelVic65: optimizing save game support?

Hi! I am working on updating AdvSkelVic65. Right now, I'm doing very well: I cut down the main executable of the default Vic20 version to 1.80k. Then, I added save game support, and, after some optimizing, the size grew to 2.40k. sad I am asking for help to optimize the save game code. sad I am asking for help to optimize it. The related code follows:

--------------
char gamefilename[]="@:advsavegamea,s";
static const unsigned char gamefilenumpos=13, gamefilelen=16;
static unsigned char issave;
static unsigned char __fastcall__ GetSaveLetter (void)
{
printtok ("Insert game disk.\n"
"Type in letter of the game to ");
printtokcr (c?"save":"load");
i=getkey();
if (i<'a' || i>='z'+1) return 0;
gamefilename[11]=i;
//printscr (gamefilename);
return 1;
}

static void opengamef (void)
{
__asm__ (
"\tlda\t#1\n"
"\tldx\t#8\n"
"\tldy\t_c\n"
"\tjsr\tSETLFS\n"
"\tlda\t_gamefilelen\n"
"\tldx\t#<_gamefilename\n"
"\tldy\t#>_gamefilename\n"
"\tjsr\tSETNAM\n"
"\tjmp\tOPEN\n"
//"\tsta\t_i\n"
);
}

void vSave (void)
{
c=1;
if (!GetSaveLetter()) return;
// s=c;
//cbm_open (1, 8, CBM_WRITE, gamefilename);
//c=CBM_WRITE;
opengamef();
if (cbm_k_readst()) {printscr("Error saving game!"); return;}
// cbm_open (CBM_WRITE);
cbm_write (1, &Player, sizeof (Player));
cbm_write (1, &CRoom, 1);
cbm_close (1);
}

void vLoad (void)
{
c=0;
if (!GetSaveLetter()) return;
// s=c;
//if (cbm_open (1, 8, CBM_READ, gamefilename)) goto err;
// cbm_open (CBM_WRITE);
//c=CBM_READ;
opengamef();
if (cbm_k_readst()) goto err;
if (cbm_read2 (1, &Player, sizeof (Player))) goto err;
if (cbm_read2 (1, &CRoom, 1)) goto err;
cbm_close (1);
printtokcr ("Loading succcessful!"); vLook2(); return;
err:
cbm_close (1);
printtokcr ("Error during load: player info might be corrupt!");

}
