Maybe not? We don't have to be compatible with MS-DOS (and derivates - such as Windows 3.x) since AbiWord requires at least a 32-bit platform (anyone tried to compile it for 64-bit?). > (i dunno, maybe .bza).

If you still have to support Win16 or Novell 3.11 I can understand your standpoint, but I don't think it's fit for the general public nowadays. Even Win95 (anno 1995) supports longer than than 8.3 names for even FAT12 (floppy). > (I assume the more descriptive option to name files .abw.bz2 is still also > available) That's what I'd assume it to be if it was a bzip2 compressed .abw file. Coming to think of it, I'd actually prefer .abw.gz over .zabw (the latter indicates it's a z (compress(1)) file). /Mike
