     Block Space Requirements (Block Cluster Size = 1):

     Full DEC GKS-3D Kit for Developers

     Disk space required for      12,000 blocks
     installation:
                                  (6.1M bytes)

     Disk space required for      11,000 blocks
     use (permanent):
                                  (5.6M bytes)

     DEC GKS-3D for VMS, Version 1.1                   SSA 25.D2.02-A




     Disk space required for      8,000 blocks
     installation:
                                  (4.0M bytes)

     Disk space required for      7,000 blocks
     use (permanent):
                                  (3.5M bytes)

     These counts refer to the disk space required on the system
     disk. The sizes are approximate; actual sizes may vary depending
     on the user's system environment, configuration and software
     options.

     Memory Requirements for DECwindows Support:

     The minimum supported memory for this application running in
     a standalone DECwindows environment with both the client and
     server executing on that same system is 4MB.

     The performance and memory usage of DECwindows applications are
     particularly sensitive to system configuration. Less memory may
     be required on the client system (the system where the software
     is installed and executed) if the server (the component that
     displays the application) resides on another system. More memory
     may be required on a system with several applications running
     or where it may be desirable to improve the performance of an
     application.

     The minimum supported memory is the minimum that will allow
     the product to run adequately. For optimal performance of the
     product, the recommended memory is 8MB.

     OPTIONAL HARDWARE

     DEC GKS-3D also supports a variety of hardcopy output devices
     and devices which are strictly compatible. Hardcopy devices
     supported by DEC GKS-3D are:
