Good.

Yep -- when we switched our default recently to non-debug builds,
we ended up with a LOT more compiler warnings. We'll be taking care
of these.

Our word importer right now is pretty weak. We're in the process of
replacing it. You're correct, it doesn't do pictures.

Look under the Insert menu to insert an image. Right now, the
image must be in PNG format.

I don't know if it does or not, but I don't think so.

Neither one. AbiWord is written using a very cross-platform design.
By simply using a plain window into which we do all of our own
drawing, we get a drawing model which is basically identical on
all our supported platforms.
