Here, the AbiWord development community (or maybe just me) is taking you
up on your most generous offer. We pride ourselves on being the most
portable word processor, and if you can tell us what need to be done to
allow us to take advantage of Mr Klaassen's hardware, we would be most
appreciative.
I've looked both in the online documentation, and in Havoc's book, and
although they gave me some clue, I'm not entirely sure if the info I got
was relevant to the situation at hand.
Thanks.
