Tom, Paul,
Stop this discussion now before it gets out of hand.
We've been through this before (just check the list
archives if you don't remember) and we all agreed that
a wxWindows port of AbiWord would be strongly desireable
(but so far no-one has done it ... ). However, Abi isn't
going to throw away it's existing work and jump
wholeheartedly to wxWindows (ie throw away their own
XP work) any time in the near future.
I don't work for AbiSource or Scitech ... but I've
listened to what has been said in the past.
Additionally I will once again say that I would be very
happy to work on a wxWindows port to Photon (and in
the past have volunteered help the BeOS) ... but I
need to have a word processor now.
Thomas ... all against flame wars
