     on the user's system environment, configuration, and software
     options.

     Note: The database should not be installed on the system disk.

     Memory Requirements for DECwindows Support

     Server Only or Server and Client:

     Minimum memory required to support DECwindows or DECforms menus,
     with client and server on the same CPU, is 16 Mbytes of physical
     memory.

     Note: For 20 or more concurrent users connected to the server,
     at least 32 Mbytes are recommended.

     Client Only:

     Minimum memory required to support DECforms menus is 8 Mbytes of
     physical memory. Minimum memory required to support DECwindows
     menus is 12 Mbytes of physical memory.

     Note: For 10 or more concurrent users on any one client, at
     least 16 Mbytes are recommended.
