I would like to see this claim substantiated.  On page 2-1 of the AT&T
UNIXpc Interface Specification ("Detailed Interface Specification")
for version 3.51, it says:

	"Minimum real memory is 512K [...] and maximum process
	size for a virtual memory program is 2.5 megabytes."

Who's correct, the FM or Mr. Ditto?
