This is very interesting.  Frankly, if the LSC 3.0 debugger really
requires 2 megabytes, then I will probably spring for an upgrade, but
with current memory prices, I will do practically anything to avoid
this.  When I develop code, I generally don't run anything else, so I
wouldn't mind using a Finder replacement.  So, Rich, I hope you'll
elaborate on your statement:

(1) Is it really possible to use the debugger in a 1 megabyte machine?
(2) What size partitions are you using?
(3) Are you really compiling and debugging, or are you editing,
    compiling, rebooting, changing configuration, _then_ debugging?
(4) Do you have TMON installed?
(5) Would you mind posting your Finder replacement that "literally
    doesn't use any memory?"

I apologize for the numerous questions, but you appear to have exciting
news that can save many, many people lots of money (and make them all
happy Think customers!).
