(eat me.)

People,
	This discussion of the various C compilers has been helpful,
but I have a question:  What are the system requirements for all
of these various compilers in terms of disk space?  The reason why
I ask is because I have only one floppy (!) and a 300k RAMdrive.
So, those of you who have worked with a particular compiler, please
tell me:  can it work with one floppy?  how about two?  if it's
a two-floppy design, can one of the disks be xfered to RAMdisk and
still run OK (i.e. would it let you have your compiler in A: and
your other stuff in C: or does it need them in a: and b:)?

	Just for the record, the reason why I only have one floppy
is because I just finished putting this thing together myself.
Total cost w/8mhz board, case, multifunction card, color card,
640k RAM, keyboard and one floppy was about $550.
