 I've been working with a fairly large system (28 screen
 files / 860k or so), and wanted to move it to a laptop, but it
 wouldn't fit on a floppy and some ramdisk.
 .
 In kicking the problem around with Andrew Wilcox, we came up with
 the notion of modifying INCLUDE to get a screen file out of an
 ARC (or ZIP) file, include it, and then delete it.  The ARC in
 this case is about 240k, so there's plenty of room.  And running
 this INCLUDE out of a ramdisk is almost as fast as running off a
 garden variety hard drive.
 .
 I've uploaded it as INC_COMP.ARC
