- Not that it matters all that much, I suppose. I haven't yet
- seen any convincing reason why I should need Clarion ...
- unless the pricing is set up in such a way that the price
- of Clarion with M2 is comparable to the price of a reasonable
- M2 compiler alone.

- Another question, now that I think of it: does anyone know what
- the disk space overhead is, for a Clarion that I'll never use
- except to launch M2? There seems to be a new trend in Windows
- applications where software vendors are trying to break the
- 100MB barrier; if that happens it would be a definite put-off.

- I haven't checked lately to see whether it's still a secret.)
