I ran HC2.1 w/ 2meg on my LC. The system was vanilla, new from the box, no
INITs, though I had added in about 20 bitmap fonts. I didn't have any
trouble per se, but when I brought up the Style sub-window, it would
"pause for 10-20 seconds, presumably waiting for enough memory to come
available, or recreating something it had had to free, or something...

Now I have 10Meg...
