Disk-Space Requirements The amount of free disk space needed to install this product depends on what configuration you choose when you run SETUP. This section describes the amount of disk space needed for two typical configurations.

Minimal Hard-Disk Installation Approximately 1.5 megabytes of free space are required to perform a minimal installation on a hard disk. This includes QuickC with no documentation files, no sample programs, no patch files, and one combined library (medium memory model with emulation floating-point method and GRAPHICS.LIB).

Full Hard-Disk Installation Approximately 2.0 - 2.2 megabytes of free disk space are required for a full installation on a hard disk. This includes all files from the distribution disks, plus two combined libraries (two memory models with emulation floating-point method and GRAPHICS.LIB). Additional combined libraries require approximately 190 - 220 kilobytes per library if you do not include GRAPHICS.LIB, or about 240 - 270 kilobytes per library if you include GRAPHICS.LIB, plus about 200 kilobytes per memory model to store component libraries while building the combined library.

Floppy-Disk Installation If you have installed QuickC on floppy disks, you will need one 360-kilobyte floppy disk for each combined library that you wish to create. If you have a higher-capacity disk drive, of course, you may be able to put more than one combined library on a floppy disk.
