Hi Jordi,
The AbiCommand plugin needs UnixNullGraphics which is Unix only. I *think*
it might be possible to make it XP but at the time I wrote the code, there
wasn't much interest in a command-line interface to AbiWord outside Unix.
(and not much within the Unix users either...)
It would be trivial to add another command line option to convert to any
of the formats we can write to.
With a bit of unix pipe magic we turn AbiWord into a server to transmute
documents from any to any of our formats. We do this using Dom's ultra
cool AP_Convert class and never have to build the layouts. With our speedy
new piecetable methods, this is also very fast. This has many uses, the
one being persued by nadav, me and the dashboard project is to index all a
users documents based on content. A personal google for your desktop :-)

I saw them thanks! I'll do a deal with you. Fix Windows HEAD so
we can release 2.1.0 and I'll spend some time seeing why the docs
crash :-)
Cheers
