We don't have a Digital Unix box either, but people have gotten the AbiWord
sources to build on a wide variety of Unix platforms. For a current list,
see:
http://www.abisource.com/lxr/source/abi/src/config/platforms/
In most cases, if you've already managed to get GLIB and GTK working on your
Unix flavor of choice, you shouldn't have anywhere near as much trouble
getting AbiWord to build and run.
Just be sure to send us any makefile updates needed, so that others can
benefit from your work. ;-)
