Hey John!
I'm sorry its taken me so long to get back to you on this one - I've been a 
bit busy for Fido later (sorry Fido).  Here however, is the reply I expect 
you wanted...

Right - I assume you're in the US (to prove it, spell favourite/colour etc.!) 
so you probably won't be able to get it too easily.  If you like, providing I 
get the CD back I'd be happy to post it to you.  The couple of hundred megs 
you can use up on Full Installation need to be available - unless you 
actually copy the CD of course.  I expect your Uni's got at least 1 CDRW!  It 
is a free version (when the next similar one came out) so its perfectly legal 
to give it away I believe.  Public domain sort of thing...
Send me your address if you want it...

I take it then you have a sufficient power house to cope with this thing? 
Moving from a 486DX-33 with 5Mb RAM to a 6x86 166+ with 32 Meg sure made a 
difference (1 hour to compile, down to 56 seconds in one case...).

Too right - the Turbo version wasn't too bad - it was one of the first pieces 
of software I *actualy* purchased without getting it with a computer...  Its 
what I'm hoping to do at Uni basically (Computer Engineering...).
BTW in return for this one I'd appreciate it if you could do two things:
1.  Keep my NetMail/E-Mail/Whatever address and let me know how you get on.
2.  Tell me what each year is called at Uni (at least in the US)...  The word 
Sophomore rings a bell, and I believe you are a Freshman in the first year - 
correct?
Happy.Programming++;
