Well I know what that sort of situation is like because between 1992/96 I surfed the Net with a PC/XT with a mere 256K RAM, no graphics, a green monochrome monitor and only a 20Mb hard disk of which about 8Mb was taken up by someone elses files leaving me 12Mb to play with. So I had to keep a daily watch on free disk space and shift heaps of files on to 5.25" 360K floppy disks ( I now have zillions of those ). Now I have a 486DX with a 500Meg hard disk of which 250Meg is still free life is much easier but I still transfer a lot of files to floppy disks of various capacities. Freeing useable memory is more difficult because these modern programs, particularly Windoze is a real memory gobbler. I only use Windoze for programs that will only run in Windoze... everything else I do either from shareware Dos-shell named "FileViewer" or from the DOS prompt. No one ever has enough memory or disk space for long...you just have to make space somehow. Bye,
