Sam,
Could you update the web site now to reflect this information. The
relevant sections are:
http://www.abisource.com/free.phtml
-> Add the "QNX Real-Time Platform -- Photon" with its link to the
new QNX page below.
Create a new page:
http://www.abisource.com/dl_qnx.phtml
Which could be modelled on the BeOS intel page with the following
information placed between the "Welcome" and the "Questions" section:
<!-- -->
The current version of AbiWord (0.7.12) should install and run properly
on any
<a http://get.qnx.com/>QNX Real-Time Platform</a> system, or a
<a http://www.qnx.com>QNX</a>
Neutrino x86 system running Photon.
AbiWord is provided as a native package for QRTP and should be installed
by the package installer. Please consult the
<a http://where_the_install_is</a>INSTALL.txt</a> file for additional
installation details.
Once installed, to run AbiWord, type /usr/photon/bin/AbiWord.

Thanks Sam!

It was due out at the end of last month, but Christmas is coming.
