    I'm afraid that the two best development environments, THINK C (v4.0) 
    and MPW C (v3.0), both require hard drives to be useful. However, a bare
    bones THINK C can be installed on a dual floppy system. Here's how it 
    works: Your one floppy has to be a minimum System floppy [only System,
    Finder, Multifinder, and DA Handler]. This floppy will be your
    development floppy. Your other floppy will contain the THINK C appl.
    (263K), Debugger (61K), MacTraps (72K), Mac #includes (143K), MacHeaders
    (precompiled 29K), oops Libraries (22K), ANSI Library (69K), only the
    the essential header files and libraries. You cannot use the THINK
    class library on a dual floppy system. Also, you'll have to create a 
    new development floppy for each new project. In addition you'll require
    a minimum of 2Mb of RAM. MPW C definitely requires a hard drive and so 
    I would think that THINK C is your best bet. It costs $169 at ComputerWare 
    and is probably cheaper in mail-order places like MacConnection. I hope 
    this helps.
