I just received my Laser C upgrade from Megamax (minus docs).
It is great! BUT I can't run it!

It absolutely requires a one megabyte machine.  With all the resident
programs flushed it still won't compile a small sized C source file.

Also, It accesses drive A: for some reason every time it starts even
when installed on the hard disk - forcing me to wait while it times out.

They obviously tested this thing on a 1040ST with floppy only.

If someone at Megamax is listening :

Please produce a version that will run with 512K.
OR: revise the old shell and editor to include env. vars, the new editor
    and interfaces to the linker/compiler.

Does anyone out there know how to install an environment variable? Are
the env var.s standard in the ST OS?  If I can get these variables installed
I can at least run the new version of the Laser C compiler with the
old shell - pity since the new dev shell really is fantastic.

Yah, yah, I know get the d*&m thing upgraded to 1 meg..  :-)

Thanks,
