I tried to mail you, but your email address is broken.

Thank you for you note explaining the position w.r.t. Bloomsbury software.

I would be grateful  if you could clarify two points which you did not address
in your note:
        - will the RAM footprint of the merged product be similar to that of
          PP or Digital Smalltalk?
        - will there be a means of distributing royalty-free runtime systems?

Both of these points  are important to me, and I clearly have  some misgivings
about   bloatware   (basically   I   still  hanker  after   Apple's  Smalltalk
implementation that ran on a single floppy in a FatMac back in 1985!)
