DISKFREE = 1K
UIS-II   = 23K
NEODESK  = 28K (shell while an app is running)

While I'm not sure of overhead, these TSRs take < 50K or RAM. I use them on
my 1040 (equal to your 520 upgraded) as well as my Mega. Memory is not a
problem and no excuse for not getting these codes in lieu of TOS 1.4.

Even when I use MULTIDESK and go way beyond the 128K or RAM for ACCs I have
no memory shortages on my 1040 and I run apps like Timeworks DTP, dbMAN,
LDW.....
