96k??? My first Sys3/Mod 6 had 5k. 3 for IBM, 2 for me. Overlays. I had forgotten them. I remember shortening report titles so the overlays would disappear. Huge platters with maybe 1/4 meg of memory? Would that be possible?

Ah, reminds me of when we had 96k (not a typo). And that was for two partitions on a S/3. And then we got a spoolwriter! Boy, did we feel pampered.


Really you weren't allowed to write programs > 24k (with overlays) because the system needed the other 24k to run things. Now that was tight code!

I was a die hard green sceen programmer. I tried the various flavors of WDSCi from 5.0 forward.

My machine is a GW2K P4 1.4ghz with 1.5gb of ram and a 5400rpm 20gb hard drive. It will be SEVEN years old this July. I run WDSCi 6.0.0.1 every day and code 5250 and debug using SEP. I've been using WDSCi for almost a year now since I got an additional half gb of ram. WDSCi is quite stable and usable.

Granted I won't be putting vista on this hardware, but I won't go to Vista until I'm assured I can get a new pc with at least 2gb of ram, and that fact is M$'s fault since their bloatware requires 2gb to effectively run even just their software.
