I have a 512KE Mac with a 10MB Hyperdrive and am interested in 
trying out Apple's MPW system. According to the APDA catalog
I just received, the basic MPW system and MPW Pascal run with
512K but 1M is "highly recommended". MPW C and MacApp are said
to require 1M.

Has anyone out there tried MPW on a 512K machine? How much can
one get done with MPW or MPW Pascal with only 512K? Can anything
useful be done at all with MPW C or MacApp with 512K?

My main interests here are:

   1) MPW C for real programming - Yeah, no hope, right?
   2) MPW assembler for real programming - Maybe?
   3) MPW and MacApp for real, or just to evaluate.

Unless you have something startling unique to say, please mail 
to me. I will summarize to the net.

    hope 'r' is being kind this week...
