OK, if I just copied the download link from Mozilla into lynx I got
0.9.6-1 just fine.  Interesting how much faster Lynx downloads files
than anything else does, I thought I was limited by the speed of my
modem!

Anyway, I'd like to start using AbiWord in a serious way.  I've only
fiddled with it before.  But what I'd like to do with it is make DocBook
documents.  I see a basic docbook file made, with the basic elements in
it, if I save an empty file as DocBook.

I would presume some of Abiword's styles correspond to some of docbook's
elements.  Is it possible to use other DocBook elements that aren't
presently set up as abiword styles?  Could I define a style and say how
this is to be exported when saved as docbook?  Can I reimport such
styles?  Can I do this short of hacking on the source, or if I need to,
is there a way I can do it so the process is more straightforward in the
future?

One thing I want to do is make the top-level element <article>, rather
than <book>, but not all the time.

I'm supposed to write the programmer's manual for ZooLib, and I've been
procrastinating about it for a long time now, in part because the author
of ZooLib wants the manual done in DocBook.  I can write in docbook xml
directly now, using psgml in emacs, but it would be a lot more pleasant
to me to use something like AbiWord.

Maybe I'll find you some bugs.  I've also been meaning for eons to
contribute something of substance to AbiWord.
