Recommended: XGA or SVGA with minimum resolution of 1024 x 768. - Mouse. * For VisualAge for OS/2 and VisualAge for Windows, Version 2.0 - 35MB disk space minimum and up to 50 to allow for growth of development image. - 20MB for the OS/2 swapper file (SWAPPER.DAT). * For VisualAge Team for OS/2 and VisualAge for Windows, Version 2.0 On client stations: - 15MB disk space minimum, and up to 30MB. - 20MB for the OS/2 swapper file (SWAPPER.DAT). On the server station: - 90MB disk space for the product files. It is recommended to provide between 250M - 500M. Additional disk space requirements for features: * VisualAge Multimedia Feature for OS/2 and Windows, Version 2.0 (PN for OS/2 17H7500...PN for Windows 17H7507) - 15MB for VisualAge standard. - 3MB for VisualAge Team client workstations. - 15MB for VisualAge Team file server. - depending on the need, digital audio player and/or compact disc (CD-ROM) and/or videodisc (see Installation Guide for details). * VisualAge COBOL Language Feature for OS/2 and Windows, Version 2.0 (PN for OS/2 17H7497...PN for Windows 17H7504) - 1MB for VA standalone or on each client of Team. - 2MB on the server for Team. * VisualAge Multi-Database Feature for OS/2 and Windows, Version 2.0 (PN for OS/2 17H7499...PN for Windows 17H7506) - 1MB for VA standalone or for each client of Team. - 2MB on the server for VA Team. *VisualAge Communications/Transactions Feature for OS/2 and Windows Version 2.0 (PN for OS/2 17H7498...PN for Windows 17H7505) - 2MB for client workstations. - 5MB for file server. *VisualAge AS/400 Feature for OS/2 and Windows, Version 2.0 (PN for OS/2 17H7501...PN for Windows 17H7441) - 3MB for VisualAge Team client workstations. - 14MB for VisualAge Team file server. 2) For the runtime machine(s) / runtime requirements: ------------------------------------------------------- 25MHZ 80386, 8MB RAM (12MB recommended). Memory and disk space requirements are application dependent. The actual amount of RAM and available hard disk space you need depends on the size and runtime requirements of your packaged application. You need to account for the space occupied by the application package, as well as the growth of the swapper file.
