- The classic "Hello World" program consisting of a single COUT line would
- not be considered a great compilation challenge for most compilers,
- particularly resident on a 166 Mhz P5 with 2 Giga HD and 16 Meg of Ram.
- Hell, my circa 1970 Z-80 compiler even managed it with 16K Ram.
-
- But my Developer's Suite version of Borland C++ 5.0 says that it runs
- out of memory linking this simple program. Yes... my productivity is
- not exactly where the pretty box cover promised it would be. 8-(
-
- Anyone have any ideas that will save this software scam from being fed
- to the barnyard animals? I think the installation documentation would
- fertilize 10 acres.
