Abiword runs on Wine, mostly.
I have not tried to install a program using just Wine but allegedly it is
possible, i usually install
it using windows and then use wine when i have booted into linux.
If Jordi still makes standalone binaries of Abiword.exe available they
should not require any installation and I would encourage you to have a
look at them using Wine. With any luck Wine is such an esoteric platform
you might turn up so hard to find bugs we might not otherwise notice.
Sincerely
Alan Horkan
