In compressed form, or as a configuration ready to run directly off

floppy?



A minimal install on hard drive with the nodelist right cut down should

run to about 2-3 meg. It all depends on what can be pared, such as the

FD editor, all of the docs, and the golded nodelist compiler. Even with

all of that, it still runs to over 1.4 meg. Even without any msgbase. I

tried it this morning.





Regards, Alan
