If you are interested in cramming abiword on to a single floppy disk you
can do this by using UPX http://upx.sourceforge.net to compress the
Abiword.exe down to less than 1.4 MB and even run it directly off the
floppy disk (but no room for a directionary or extras like that).
I think Jeremy was distributing just a UPX compressed copy of the Abiword
binary on its own for a while, it may still be available with the nightly
builds.
Hope that helps,
Hope that makes sense,
Tired and stressed.
