Well I've had both ka9q and dis running in 514K of conventional
memory without any problems, any less than that and it whinges though.
If someone can suggest a sensible way of reducing memory in
a controlled manneer I'll try to get better figures.

Yeah but you probably understand what you're cutting and pasting,
I'm just good at guessing :-)
