I went and ask the evaluator; SCO UNIX and the SINGLE USER version of
ODT takes an even 100MB unless you leave out parts of ODT.

I have no idea how much additional space, if any, the multi-user
version of ODT would take. 

If you think ODT will be a big success, buy stock in drive and
memory manufacturers.... :-)

We run quite a few 386/ix machines with 68MB drives, multiple
users, etc. and have very few space problems. Usually VP/ix eats
the most space for us.
