"Out of the box" Proline will use three partitions.  32 MB for the root
directory,  32 MB for the file section, and another 32 MB for the message 
base.  It is really easy to add several more 32 MB partitions for files.
All you have to do is change one or two lines.  The smallest configuration
and still be able to run a full Proline would be a 2 meg ram disk and an 800k
floppy for the message base.  Proline has alot of utilities and and it does
take up some space for the root directory.  

I like Proline but each program has its good points and its bad points.  The
only way a person can decide is to call up several Prolines and several GBBS
boards and decide for himself.
