I recently posted a question asking about the minimum system needed to make a compiler usable. Thanks to the following for their responses. KENNEDY%wwpacs%dupont.com@net.cs.relay chris@edu.utexas.cm.star2 mapjilg@bath.ac.uk robin@sabre.uucp schwager@m.cs.uiuc.edu UH2@psuvm.psu.edu kms@edu.uncecs alex%bilver@net.eu.relay ludde@se.kth.nada stevep@uk.co.bt.galadriel 871579l@ca.acadiau phorgan@com.portal.cup poirier@com.dg.dg-rtp whitwiz!danny The general consensus seemed to be that a 1M twin floppy system was usable, provided the compiler and perhaps the C library were kept on the ram disk. Most people recommended eventually getting a hard disk which I will do when I can afford it. Thanks again. -- Michael Gordon - mfg@castle.ed.ac.uk OR ee.ed.ac.uk You can't have everything - where would you put it? -- Steven Wright
