Multiple function might be better, as long as the functions have something
in common.  For example, a library could have PutSprite and RemoveSprite.
You're likely to use both in conjunction.  It wouldn't be good to have alot
in one or routines that aren't related

I'd be glad to help in any way with the standard/loader/assembler.
