Write it with MS Word.  You'll easily get a 128kb file
within a few minutes.

But seriously ...

I don't think it's a good idea to invest major amounts of
money and/or time into something that depends on the
accuracy of a certain release date.  Even -stable releases
have been moved by several weeks in the past because of
late show-stoppers.  And 5.0-Release will not be a -stable
release, so I expect it will not be particularly punctual.

Also, remember that 5.0-Release already had been moved by
one year (!) and now by another month.  I think it's not
completely unrealistic to expect that 5.0-Release might not
happen in 2002.

Disclaimer:  I'm not an official release engineer etc.,
and I'm sure someone will tell me that I don't have a clue
anyway.  :-)

Regards
   Oliver
