THINK's PASCAL system has a source-code debugger in 1 megabyte.
How come their C system can't manage that? 

I predict that the 2 meg requirement will significantly impact
THINK's market share, particularly if BORLAND introduces their
source-code debugger and manages to keep it within 1 meg.

THINK could well be cutting their own throats.
I know I can't currently afford to pay $500/megabyte to
upgrade my machine, so I am thinking seriously of moving
my product plans back to the MessyDOS world where I can get
most of the development advantages without the grief.
 
 Flames to /dev/null please.
