- The msa-emacs client (a decent choise IMO), you can get it down to
- 147Kb if you remove all the comments in the source.
- If you remove all the helptext I bet it would go under 100K, but since I
- have not done that this figure is not certain.
- If he has emacs on his system this could be a good thing.

- You could of course fetch the workin perl client. This thing takes aprox
- 64Kb without helpfiles.
- This requires perl.
