You'll have to check the mode of the abiword shell script (type "which abiword"
to see where that is) and the AbiWord_d or AbiWord_s binary (read the shell
script to find them). Mine are in /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/AbiSuite/bin
respectively. The shell script should be 755; 711 should suffice for the
binary. Don't do ugo+rwx (which is 777) because then anyone can overwrite the
program. Did you preserve permissions when you untarred the file?

A file in which characters above hex 007F are encoded as sequences of bytes
with the high bit set. This is a common way of encoding Unicode.
