I find that helps extremely, and allows me to such strange things as using only 512K. There are few programs that cannot be written to use less than 128K if you do it right. So if you get the chance, don't spend 200 on a 3rd disk drive, spend it on a hard disk. PS. Yes, I have the lates Lattice Compiler, but I bough the Ami 1000 in Jan of '86 to program. -- Brian Moffet brianm@sco.com {uunet,decvax!microsof}!sco!brianm The opinions expressed are not quite clear and have no relation to my employer.
