On a DECstation 5000: 
	- 35 Mb to build the system
	-  8 Mb of permanent storage, including the libraries with the 
	        bindings to X, Xt, Xaw which you may not need.

The other implementation has been developped by the Olivetti Research
Center. Unfortunately, this lab is now closed, and I am not sure about
the current avaibility of their system.
