Well I have tried the demo version on my 1 meg MacPlus and a 1 meg Mac
II and as far as I can tell even a single picture will cause you to be
limited to a page or two in the chapter.  In fact one of the sample
documents that has a picture consistently causes warnings about being
low on memory if I try to create a second picture and this document is
only a single page long. The only inits I am running are QuicKeys and
Suitcase. So unless you are only planning on doing text this could be
a serious limitation for those of you still awaiting your memory 
upgrades from apple. ( I don't think my thesis can wait that long.)
