TH>Anyone have Borland 5.02 installed? They said a typical

TH>300Meg! This is way beyond fatware. I had to drop the 16-bit

DM>You have a big hard drive, don't you.
It's all relative. It was *big* a few years ago. Nowadays, 1GB drives
are considered bare minimum.
DM>There is only 170 meg of data there, but it can easily take up 300
DM>meg on a FAT drive.
You mean a FAT16. Which is my problem, I know. I loaded to a
compressed volume. I think the disk usage is computed a bit
differently than normal. The expanded sized are calculated based on
the estimated compression ratios. That way the actual storage
requirements are not exceeded.
DM>Convert to NTFS ... meaning convert to NT.
No thank you. It is a poor performer for most of the apps that I use.
And, the extra expense I don't need.
TH>Who had developed any W95 apps?
DM>Been there - switched to OS/2.
That's a big market... [grin]
