YSTEM ONFIGURATION AND ERFORMANCE
TextBridge Pro operates under System 7.1 or higher. It requires a
Macintosh with a 68030, 68040, PowerPC, G3 or iMac CPU, and
at least twenty-one megabytes (21Mb) of disk space for full
installation, or five megabytes (5Mb) for minimum installation.
Also, to run TextBridge Pro, your Macintosh must have at least
ten megabytes (10Mb) of memory (RAM), 12Mb are
recommended. You can configure your Macintosh with virtual
memory in addition to your built-in RAM, which enables you to
run with as little as 5Mb of built-in RAM. However, this is not
recommended as performance will be significantly slower.
In general, the more memory you can make available to
TextBridge Pro, the better its performance will be, particularly
when processing pages with multiple columns or complex layouts.
