There currently seem to be 'more than a few' problems with building AbiWord
on BeOS. I'd like to at least get it building before encouraging
developers to help, so I'll try that this weekend. It might be good to do
a '0.7.14-BeOS' release (BeOS was missed in the oficial release, because of
te aforementioned problems) before I posting to news sites etc. Any
objections?

Ahem, it's 'Jamie' :-)
I'm still around (I've just been very busy - final exams).
I'll probably still be busy for the next few weeks (final year project and
dissertation - if we ever need a port to the Java Virtual Machine platform,
I should be able to help :-). I won't be /as/ busy, however, so I'll
certainly have time to post a few stories to news sites, and will porbably
be able to have a go at working on the BeOS code more concentratedly than
I've been able to do recently.
Jamie.
