I looked at the siag home page and they also have a Slackware .tgz binary 
package (1.4MB for version 3.60) - no mention of which version libc6 is 
needed but probably a recent one.

Does BL2 have the dependencies if you install all the X packages? Perhaps 
Siag could be compiled for libc5.  The latest version is 3.60 (source 
1.58MB) but there are earlier versions.  Version 0.98 source code is 149K.
Version 2.73 is 505KB.

I could not find information on what the earliest package includes - maybe 
just the wordprocessor?  It is dated Dec 2002 so really might require 
libc6 to compile.

Steven, what is your opinion of siag as compared with Abiword?
Have you tried compiling it for libc5?  uClibc?
Can it be used with mono or 4-bit color?
