I have not tried out abiword yet so I can not give a comparison on the two.
The file sizes are as follows

siag.tgz                         1861KB
expands to about                 5294KB

siag (spreadsheet)              398,112
pw (stands for Pathetic Writer) 254,652
xedplus (text editor)            77,520
xfiler                          119,096

There are misc support .gifs for the the menubars and toolbars.
Help files, and documents as well as examples.
There is also reference to "Egon" , some sort of animation program that I
have not found yet.

To run Delilinux programs in BL1 you would have to add the SW71 glibc
package.  How much space does this package take up?  How would you compare
it to Abiword?
