     A lot depends on what each package includes.  Based on other systems
I've seen, the Software Development Pkg probably includes compilers, debugers,
loaders, etc; sounds necessary for what you want to do.
     Laser Printer Support probably could be optional, also depending on
what it contains and what you want to do and how you want to do it.  You can
easily write your own software to use Postscript and the system already
supports printers.  I would say unless it has something you absolutly need,
it is not necessary.
     Documentor's workbench probably is needed.  On some systems this IS
the online manuals and the necessary support programs.
     I hope this is some help.  Please correct me if I have made a mistake.
