In fact, I don't think the whole largeness thing is as much of an issue today. We're not working with VAXen and the like - computing power is plentiful. The whole "emacs is too large" excuse is a bit of a cop out in my opinion. Emacs is still smaller than the closest offering from MS - Word! And by a large margin, too! Who said you can't word process in Emacs? For most purposes, HTML is formatting enough.. Now, if you still don't like emacs, fine, don't use it. That's your choice. > Josef "Give me emacs or give me death" Grosch Aye! Alex G.
