Having installed A/UX and X-Windows on a Quantum-80 (sans games and man pages,
of course), I find that I have only a few of MB of disk space available for
my *work*.  Any suggestions on how to reclaim a few significant -- and at
this point, 1 MB is significant -- chunks of space?

I found one thing to do, which seems helpful and does not appear to have
caused any trouble: I reformatted the disk (using Silverlining, incidentally)
to eliminate the A/UX Slice 3 (users) partition, adding the reclaimed space
to the Slice 0 (root+usr) partition, and then put /users on the later
partition.  The idea was to allow space reclaimed by expunging system files
to become available to /users without reformatting.  (Separate backup of
/user files will not be much of a problem, since little space is involved.)
