i got the 2nd release installed wih 4mb, but i
had to do it in stages; the uncompression just
took the machine out.  it did it piecemeal.

once i'd done it 4Mb was just not enough.  you
could get 8 1/2, sam and maybe a window or two.
finally it would choke.

8Mb would have been better, but i reckon 16Mb
would have been the minimum.
