    I don't know what version you have, and of course the install will depend
on whether you take all the help files, the sample database etc. I've installed 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 at various times from the sample disks and none of them has ever come close to 1.3g. One 7.2 install sits on a 500M drive
along with a fair amount of other software.

    Why not try a custom install and see how much space each part is listed as using? You don't have to install the parts you'll never use. Van
