This is new to me. I didn't expect to see a message like this in 1997, only in 1999 2000. A program REQUIRING 64MB of RAM!!!! I thought that the first program that woould had those requirements would be a monstruous database/expert system/GUI program. NO. It was GNU Make!!! Congratulations to cygnus for establishing this record! I wonder when a Hello world program will need 1Gigabyte of RAM to start and some terabytes of disk to be stored... -- Jacob Navia Logiciels/Informatique 41 rue Maurice Ravel Tel 01 48.23.51.44 93430 Villetaneuse Fax 01 48.23.95.39 France - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
