Sure, just edit the icewm to point to the other links.

Sure, just edit your profile file to change the alias.
Then, if you wish, you can delete 0.90.

I'm glad the links2 package is providing useful functionality.

Yes they are.

Because many of the target systems do not have that
resolution.  In particularly, none of my monitors can
display above 800x600.

Users can set whatever resolution they fancy by editing
/etc/Xconfig.  The initial Xsetup menu is just to get 
them started.

AbiWord seems to require 8bit color or better (I don't
know why).

Me too.  Netscape 3.04 had the same restriction until I found
a work-around.  Hopefully, somebody will find a work-around
for AbiWord.  Please let me know if you do.

Yes.
