128 *K*?  Really?  When Xastir's almost-bare footprint with a few shapefiles 
loaded is something on the order of 20M?  The running X server on my machine 
has an RSS of 60M.  Doesn't 128K trash?  I haven't owned a machine with less 
than 1MB of core in over 10 years --- in 1991 my first PC running BSD was a 
386 with 8MB.  I'm in awe that 128K is enough for anything.  More power to
ya.
