"Least" seems appropriate, in view of the comment that had Multics
been done for smaller machines, people might now be raving about
PL/1 rather than C.  I remember the first time I saw the Multics
system, people were having a party. They had just managed to get
the resident portion of the monitor (on a 256K machine) down to
300K.  Not bad for a "least" system!  How big was the first UNIX
written in C?
