Don't know about abiword but I've tried to use wp8 and wp9 both. wp8 stinks like a
beached
whale. wp9 is not as bad, only stinking like a beached porpoise, but it makes errors
and is not
really usable. Even wp10 for windows is unstable, ya gotta download a 100 mb Service
Pack 2
to keep it from crashing occasionally. That 's running it under windows, not wine. I
almost got
wp9 for windows to run under wine several months ago. That's sad because I've always
liked
WordPerfect, but version8 for windows was the last relatively bug-free version.
That's what
comes from a paint company trying to program a word processor.
