Well, nowadays the Mathematica application on my computer is
4785606192 bytes. That makes me curious, because Eureka 2.12
is contained in a 720kb floppy, and runs entirely in 1Mb of RAM.

That was my birth. At this period there was a Univac at the university
that was occupying an entire building, and worked with perforated cards.

That's how I use AHCC, with short includes compatible with PURE C.

For the moment, I can entirely build Eureka 2.12 with AHCC 5.5. But
it is not working exactly as expected. That gives me hope !
