The 105 meg NeXTStations only come with a small part of the software, because not all of it will fit on such a small disk. Your friend is licensed for the whole distribution, including the C and C++ compilers. All that you need to do is find somone who has the stuff and put it on your machine somehow. It's legal. Oh, if you delete Webster you have plenty of room for the man pages and the compiler and libraries (but you probably don't want the profiled libraries -- they're huge and most people don't use them often). You probably want to pick up at least 200 meg of external disk space though, if you can get it (not vital but *real* nice). What's this "caveat emptor"? NeXT was telling everybody about this from the very begining. The 105/20 meg machines gets a dinky distribution but full license, while the 300/400 meg machines get the full distribution. -- Doug DeJulio ddj@zardoz.club.cc.cmu.edu
