Hmm
That was a pretty quick update from them since that laste update before was like a year ago or some.
Thanks for packaging it up quickly.
cool
Works as expected. Thanks John.
The issue we had here seems to be fixed as well.
Thanks

Just out of curiosity why is
Just out of curiosity why is this program on here when there is a entire office package supplied by Open Office? Does this program give features that the Open Office version does not?
It is smaller and more
It is smaller and more compact.
Not everyone needs a full office suite.

Abiword vs. Open Office.
As stated earlier, Abiword is much smaller and faster than Open Office. Plus, it is just a word processor, and does not have all the other programs associated with Open Office. Open Office writer is superior in many ways however. In an ideal world, we could get JUST Open Office Write portable, and that would serve all of my clients needs, however, until then having the option of either a full Open Office Install or an Abiword install is not bad. One or the other will cover most people's needs!
