Ever hear of overlays? As long as you've got the disk space to compile it,
it can't be that hard. I think that one of the later versions of LC
for Ldos supported overlays, and if you're willing to use the entire
5 meg drive that used to be sold for that machine in those days, you've
got room to compile it.

Now, getting the shell scripts to run on that machine is a bit of
a problem :-)
