Sorry, I have zero sympathy here -- why would anyone try to run any compiler from diskettes these days -- a complete waste of time as I see it -- and I would have been willing to make that statement ten years ago (the original Realia COBOL could run off disketttes, but I don't think there was a single user who found this interesting). The idea that the much larger software components of today have no more functoinality thatn the small ones of yesterday seems completely at ood with the facts to me!
