Are compiling (and linking) "large" programs out of the question with only 1 meg RAM and no hard drive? How much floppy disk shuffling would I have to do on such a "limited" system? How much does "RAD:" help, and if it does, how much RAM do you allocate to it and still have enough room for the compiler and a text editor editing source code at the same time? If you do use RAD:, do use stuff like AREXX and conman at the same time as compiling, and do you sometimes run into memory constraints with 1 meg with all this stuff loaded? Is the Lattice C++ compiler good? Post your answers or email, it doesn't matter to me. -yoshio ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yoshio Nakamura Internet: yoshio@ucrmath.ucr.edu University of Calif., Riverside uucp: {ucsd, uci, ucdavis}!ucrmath!yoshio
