Well, wouldn't you know. I was going to post all this yesterday, and 
as we get up earlier in the morning this side of the pond, I would 
have got there first. I fixed SEGMAPSIZE to 32, so must be half a 
woos (?sp).

What you have to watch is the linker! It gets to 14 meg doing 
9pcdisk; it gets to 20mb doing ghostscript, even without any useful 
printer drivers added in (which was what I was doing). Anyone else 
tried compiling in, say, HP deskjet support?
