Unfortunately there are 2 readme.txt in the svn directory,  readme2.txt
(which i assumed was an update to readme.txt) is also there which says

"NOTE: YOu need to use quartus_pgm from Quartus II V8.1 since this supports
the Cyclone III devices."

which is why I installed the whole 1.080GB!

The good news is that I can now run Mercury at 48kB sampling rate on my acer
aspire 1 notebook 1.6G CPU with just 1G of memory

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the feedback. The instructions in the README file ask you to
download the Altera programmer since at 80MB its a lot smaller than the
1GB for Quartus V8.1.

I did that for consistency across different users. I guess we could
prompt the user if they have V8.1 on their PC and select the correct
path.

My DOS batch programming is a bit rusty!
