Thanks Gordon. Abiword is a really, really nice program indeed. It's
well designed, and designed right. There's one thing I noticed though,
the default abiword file format produces files that are at least 3
times in size those exported to other formats from within abiword such
as .doc or .rtf or even .html (13kb vs 4kb vs 4kb vs 3kb,
respectively). I find this a little peculiar.
