- Who cares how much disk space it takes....I'm tired of people complaining how
- much space development tools take!!. These are not hobbyist toys we're talking
- about. Most serious developers I know don't seem to mind how big tools are

- compiler. If you want a do app get a dos compiler. If you want a windoze
- app get a windoze compiler. If you want a *nix app etc.......
