Well, it looks like everyone is in agreement. Somebody let the list know
if you want to add this, otherwise Shaw or Jeff will grab it later when
they have time.

Right now it isn't. John Brewer did some early work to get AbiWord to

there is a fair amount of work that has to be done there. As of right now,
I do not believe anyone has volunteered to a get Mac port going.
