Hi Eric:
My impression is that there would be FULL and EXTRA sized ISOs,
with "only online / on ibiblio" as being the third level of
escalation.
If my bird bath is full, and I add extra water to it, then it will overflow!
I tend to drop VIM as the largest - ELVIS still remains.
I like Vim!

HI Eric,
By no means is anything final yet.
And of course, it all comes down to what Jim decides.

What part do you not understand?
Yesterday I tried to get pandoc working with manuskript. But I soon gave
up. Deeming the feature too hard!
Lots of choices requiring research, [sigh] would inspire anxiety

The (old, 1.1) 32 bit version was about 400 KiB, zipped. The newer (1.2+) 16
