  13. Yes,  the language  compilers  can run on the IBM PCjr.  You            
  14. must  take  several  factors  into consideration.  Lets list            
  15. these first.                                                            
  16.                                                                         
  17. 1.  Both  of the version 2.0  compilers  require  160KB  of             
  18. memory for DOS 2.0 and 190KB for later versions of DOS.                 
  19.                                                                         
  20. 2. Both of the version 2.0  compilers  require  two diskette            
  21. drives.                                                                 
  22.                                                                         
  23. The IBM Software Guide(dated September 1984) stipulates that            
  24. the  above  compilers "Needs extended memory with the PCjr".            
  25. If  you  look  at the MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS section of            
  26. the  same  brochure,  the FORTRAN, and PASCAL entries states            
  27. that  the  IBM PCjr requires 512KB to apportion between user            
  28. memory and RAM disk".                                                   
  29.                                                                         
  30. The  512K  breaks  down  as follows:  approximately 32KB for            
  31. DOS,  16KB  for  Video  Buffer,  160KB  for  the  particular            
  32. compiler,  and  314KB  for  a  RAM disk.  In this manner the            
  33. requirements   are   met,  and  the  compiler  will  execute            
  34. properly.
