I manage to run Word 5.0a on a powerBook 100 with 2mb ram (I am an
optimist :-)  ) but I use it mainly for sending faxes on the PB's
faxmodem.  I have allocated a rather paltry 900K to Word.  My PowerBook
has very little other software installed (ZTerm and the FaxModem
software).  Maybe one or two inits, no more.
