A couple of months ago I submitted a little essay to Suck which took
off from the apparent death of DOS word processors and went on to
deal with software bloat. Unfortunately my submission coincided with
an influx of MS moolah and they declined it, with regrets. If
anyone's interested, I've put it up on my Web page (I haven't added a
link from the main page, so you'll have to fill in the complete
address):
