Reviewers have used it on the 5.1 executable, and gotten excellent compression, and no problems with the automatic expansion at load time. There's always LetterPerfect. Or my CP/M laptop with WordStar-to-go in ROM. Ross

Turbo C++ can be crammed into 1.5MB without too much difficulty if you get rid of the tons upon tons of "extra" stuff and use only one memory model. Add another 50K for a editor and you're set. cjs -- Curt_Sampson@mindlink.UUCP {uunet|ubc-cs}!van-bc!cynic!curt curt@cynic.wimsey.bc.ca

Each of the above can be packaged to fit under 1Mb. Thus they can work on the single T1000SE floppy or, if you have the 1 or 2Mb RAM card, that is the better solution. Since 2Mb RAM cards can be purchased for under $350, that may be smarter than buying a whole new machine just to get a hard drive. For wordprocessing purposes, 2.4Mb of "hard drive" seems entirely adequate. Of course if you're running compilers, then 2.4Mb is not adequate, although I have also used QuickC in that space as well. Let me know if you want to fit any of the above packages for T1000SE use. Cheers, Dan Ts'o 212-570-7671 Dept.
