I wonder if I could build fossil for my old Commodore 64. It would certainly require a lot of disk swapping. Not virtual memory paging, literal "Please insert Disk 43" type disk swapping. :) On Sat, Feb 13, 2016 at 9:34 PM, Andy Bradford wrote: > Thus said Stephan Beal

Just an FYI: I use a circa-2002 iBook for testing SQLite on (32-bit big-endian) PPC. The iBook is loaded with Mac OS 10.2. 20GB hard disk and 256MB of RAM. Fossil still compiles and runs fine on that old dinosaur. It syncs up with modern servers. Performance is perky - not blistering fast,
