Well, if I understand Rich correctly, then it is POSSIBLE (albeit, probably
not incredibly easy) to use LSC 3.0's debugger with 1MByte of memory if you
use a Finder replacement (or, more likely, Rich's zero memory Finder
replacement).

If this is true, can't you just take a copy of LSC and rename it to
"Finder" and put it in the System Folder?  This sounds like a nifty
solution to me.

Oh, my.  I hope this is true.  I'm one of the fortunately few who just
bought LSC recently so I get the upgrade for "free" (shipping only).
If I can use the debugger on my 1MB Macintosh, I will be SOOOOOOOO happy!

--------

As a side note.  When I first heard that the symbolic debugger required
2MBytes of memory, I was upset.  I bought LSC a couple months ago because
I knew there was a debugger coming.  Then when I found out I couldn't use
it, it bugged me.

Then I heard the argument about "more functionality - more memory", and I
didn't buy it because LSP has a symbolic debugger and works in 1MByte.

I was about to write a response to the net stating my displeasure with
the 2MByte news, but then I stopped and thought to myself.  LSC is a
terrific product.  It's the best programming environment I've ever seen
on any system anywhere.  period.  THINK is a great company with a great
product and great customer support (that includes, especially, you Rich).  If
they say the symbolic debugger needs 2MBytes of memory, then I'm willing
to bet that it is a barnstormer of a debugger.  I'm really looking forward
to seeing it, even if I have to upgrade to 2MBytes.

Keep up the good work THINK!!!!  You still have my support.
