Just to ask, what's the min hardware requirements & OS we're targeting?
One can buy a brand-new machine from Dell for about $300...

Hi Erik, others,

Well, we would still like Xconq to run on "legacy" machines. I
mean, if we didn't, we could also go to C99 or maybe C++, and we
could assume a certain baseline processor speed.
Another problem with 3D "tables" is not just memory
considerations, but how unwieldy the GDL would be. Writing a 3D
data set by hand can be rough for some people. Of course, things
could be made somewhat easier if we ever get a
DB-interface/GDL-generator tool like Klaus suggested....
