I've been following the discussion of the $99.00 deal for Actor 3.0 and I
am considering making the purchase.  However, I have a few questions:

1.  I read a review in PC Magazine where it was stated (don't quote me) that
    a short program (15 or so lines) compiled to an extremely large exe file.
    By extremely large I mean 300K or something (as far as I can remember).
    Is this true?

2.  Can Windows 3.0 programming be done with Actor 3.0 ONLY?  Do I need SDK,
    Turbo C++, Microsoft C, etc?

3.  My system is a Gateway 2000 386sx with 2MB running at 16 Mhz.  Will 
    developement be slow?  Anything but a snails pace I think I could live
    with.

Any response would be greatly appreciated.  Post or send me e-mail direct.
Note:  any info on Actor 3.0 is welcomed.
