It was that there were ones marked bidi and ones not
so marked that threw me off. The ones with two
versions were stable builds, but I didn't read
anywhere
that that's what the "s" in the filenames meant.
Thanks for clearing it up.

Thanks for all the info. I've got it working now,
albeit at a different cybercafe which has AbiWord on
all its computers anyway (:
I couldn't remember what the problem was but yes it
was that there was a missing DLL msvc7.dll or
somesuch.
I had been giving up at this point, especially since
write access was blocked to some directories as was
entering file paths into Explorer etc. At this place
I was able to find and install the DLL from the
internet. Now I'm just trying to remember how to get
a copy of World.abw off the net to test...
Got it - works! I'll go fix the bug report now.
Andrew Dunbar.
