On another forum, I was complaining about how Microsoft was planning to remove WordPad from Win11. I was advised that installing OpenOffice or LibreOffice was an appropriate replacement. I replied that WordPad was only 3 megs large, as opposed to the recommended replacements, which are decidedly larger.

I guess not everybody appreciates tight code, but I surely do. Things like this are amazingly impressive.

I just looked at how big LibreOffice Writer is, 210 MB as a portable app... Wow...

AbiWord Portable is probably the smallest and even that is 15 MB installed...
