Very little.
 abbr.tex  defines a lot of abbreviations that Thanh uses when writing
papers and documentation.
The only ones used in  protcode.tex  are \div  for \divide 
and \mul for \multiply ; both are used exactly once.
It is a simple matter to replace these with the long form and
then remove the loading of  abbr.tex .

I did exactly this, this evening.


Cheers,
