Before you spring for a big budget word
processor, take a look at AbiWord first. Besides a price
that's right (free), it offers a clean, intuitive interface,
and about all of the word processing power most people
need. It's available for a number of languages and operating
systems.
You wiil find AbiWord is unique among word
processors in its drive to become a fully cross-platform
word processor. The source code is carefully written so
that AbiWord will run on virtually any operating system
with a minimum of time spent on porting.
Like most Open Source projects, AbiWord
started as a cathedral, but has become more like a bazaar.
AbiWord is part of a larger project known as AbiSource,
which was started by the SourceGear Corporation. The goal
of the project was the development of a cross-platform,
Open Source office suite beginning with AbiWord, the project's
word processor.
AbiWord is unique among word processors in its drive
to become a fully cross-platform word processor. Our source
code is carefully written so that AbiWord will run on
virtually any operating system with a minimum of time
spent on porting.
This combined with our support for internationalization
(the ability to run AbiWord in many languages) gives AbiWord
a massive potential user-base.
Currently we run on most UNIX systems, Windows 95 and
later, QNX Neutrino 6.2. We also have a MacOS X native
port in the way (you can still use the UNIX version on
MacOS X if you want).
There used to be a BeOS port, but that version has been
gone unmaitained for too long to consider it as still
alive; we dreamt that it was any different, so if you
want to help, feel free to contact us.
