          Block Space Requirements (Block Cluster Size = 1):

          Required for initial
          installation:

          Development Option:          29,500 blocks
                                       (12.8M bytes)

          Run-time Only Option:        29,500 blocks
                                       (12.8M bytes)

          Required for execution:

          Development Option:          8,000 blocks
                                       (4.1M bytes)
