It takes up about 3.8MB on my disk.  I can't remember the size of 2.0
but I am sure it was less.

Another beef: in WYSIWYG mode my mouse driver (though date late 1990)
must not be 101% fully Microsoft compatible since a line is left at the
bottom position of each pull down menu when it is removed.  This is
irritating in a program I just update twice in the last few months.
You can fix it by hitting the WYSIWYG macro key, but that is not
great programming....

Had I really understood the benefits better, I too would not have
upgraded (and that is unusual with a Borland product).
