1 - According to the User's Guide (p. 5) you need a hard disk with
    at least 3 Mb of free space and 4Mb is recommended.  (The
    program directory on my hard disk takes up about 3.1 Mb)

2 - If your university has a site license, Quattro is available for
    less than $99.00. (One of my colleaques said $66.00). I'm not
    sure whether you can buy personal copies for that price, though.
