Are any of the older versions of MPLAB any less "bloated"?

No. Even the 10 year old original was bloated and from there they have
laboured on each iteration to increase the bloat by a factor of about
sqrt(2).

Ever heard of the EPE magazine TK3? - I think that contains an assembler
but I'd have to dig out my collection of old magazines to find out.

Yep. Over the years they've given excellent coverage and support to many
PIC
(starter or otherwise) projects. I think I came across their 'house'
assembler in a listing for a nice "L-C meter" they did. Had to modify the
text in a couple of lines, to allow a nicked lump of their code (Peter
Helmsley's? 32 bit maths collection), to be assembled on a 'standard' PIC
assembler but it was straightforward otherwise.

Having already ordered the EPE pic resources CD (still awaiting arrival), I
think it might be best to stick with that format, I've just found out that
the EPE teach-in series is PIC instead of electronics for this season and my
EPE collection goes back to before the PIC existed so with any luck the
articles go back to when the people at EPE were just getting the hang of it.
