   No, big powerful programs shouldn't have to constrain themselves to the
size of a floppy.  PageMake 3.0 doesn't fit on a floppy either, does that
mean I shouldn't use it if it does the things I need it to do.

   That's because you've only SEEN it, you haven't USED it.  Have word keep
track of digagram numbers, and the pages that they are on, oh and don't 
forget to do the bibliography at the end of the document.

   It runs on a 1 meg machine, it's just not very comfortable, it like some
more room than that, most of the sophisticated software these days requires
more than a Meg of RAM.  No one seems to mind any of the CAD/CAM systems
chomping on memory.  And besides if they limited it to 1 meg of RAM it's
wouldn't be as powerful as it is.
