The manual says it will, provided you have at least 1.6 megabytes of disk storage. But 2 megabytes of RAM and a hard disk are recommended. I haven't actually tried running Allegro in less than 2 megabytes, but I suspect it's not good for much more than small demo programs in that configuration. The system comes configured to load functions on demand, and to remove unneeded functions during garbage collection, in order to keep space requirements to a minimum. You can disable this feature if you have enough memory, in order to gain speed. -- Dave Seaman ags@j.cc.purdue.edu
