It should be mentioned that there are those of us at THINK who have gotten the
LSC 3.0 debugger to run on a one megabyte machine. There are lots and lots of
things you have to do and be careful of to get this working, though. For one,
you have to use MultiLaunch or an equivalent instead of running the Finder.
For another, you have to take LSC's partition down from around 700 to 400, and
the debugger partition form 200 to 150. This results in compiles being limited
to short source files, and programs being limited to small size; did I mention
that the partition for a running program should be about 100K? Anyway, even
though it IS possible, we decided that claiming we could run in a megabyte
would be like saying that you could use a 128K Mac to do serious word
processing. -jbx
