I always heard it was 4 disks, which is a maximum of 3.2 Mb.  Some of
this is presumably sample stacks, which you could probably live
without.  However, it is still quite a bit to download, on the order
of 7 hours at 1200 baud.  On GEnie this costs $35, which is almost how
much it costs to buy at a store (and the store includes
documentation).
