- That's interesting. I have an A4000/030/18, and I can run tin just
- fine -- in fact, I am running tin right now, to reply to this. Here

-
- 1) Use the -n option (to only load groups in your active file)
- 2) Cut your various newsgroup files down to only include what you
- actually read.
- 3) tin puts some stuff in T:. Assign t: somewhere on your HD.

- Using those tips, tin will run (barely) on a 2-meg system with an
- editor also in memory. You should have no problem with it on an
- 18-meg system.
