On a 1 Meg Mac, you will only be able to compile and link the smallest of programs. Of course, MPW is not getting the full 1 Meg of memory since the system heap is still around. My experience so far: with MPW3.0 in a 1 Meg partition under Multifinder: The C compiler seems memory efficient. It's able to compile large files with no problems even with the -sym option (generate symbolic debugging info). The linker doesn't seem to do as well. Fortunately it seems to use the Multifinder temporary memory calls to get unused Multifinder memory to work with. But with the -sym option, you need lots of free memory. Lib seems to suffer from memory problems also. Summary: how much are SIMMS these days? Nick Pilch nicky@cup.portal.com
