Do you also have to buy Win95 or WinNT?  Will Clarion run
under OS/2?

Not that it matters all that much, I suppose.  I haven't yet
seen any convincing reason why I should need Clarion ...
unless the pricing is set up in such a way that the price
of Clarion with M2 is comparable to the price of a reasonable
M2 compiler alone.

Another question, now that I think of it: does anyone know what
the disk space overhead is, for a Clarion that I'll never use
except to launch M2?  There seems to be a new trend in Windows
applications where software vendors are trying to break the
100MB barrier; if that happens it would be a definite put-off.

(The last time I asked such questions, it seemed that the
beta-testers knew the answers but were sworn to secrecy.
I haven't checked lately to see whether it's still a secret.)
