AW 4.0 is the last one that will run with 128K

AW 5.1 requires 256K of RAM, however, there have been posts that this
is marginal. You really need 512K and 1Meg is best. ALSO, it is NOT
available on 5.25" disks except for installing on a hard drive. So,
you also need a 3.5" drive if you don't have a hard drive.

(The folks on GEnie seem to think that all or a significant number of
//e owners have a 3.5" drive since they insist on making the A2 disk
of the month available only as a 3.5" disk archive ;-)

Can't remember back to even v3, however, I do know that V4 to V5 was a
wonderful experience.

Print it to disk as an ASCII file (Can't remember if that option was
available on 2.x. But I really think it was.)
