Gambit ran just fine in a 1 MB Amiga (once the library changes were made), so
it should do well with four times the memory!
I probably should refrain from repeating Perlis' quip about some things being
an improvement over their successors. 8^}.
[NB: with reference to the Amiga which booted from a 256KB EPROM with a
real-time kernel and window system -- NOT to Gambit's newer and improving
releases!].
