LinuxPPC comes with Abi now? my version of R5 didn't. Its good to hear
that they are packing this along with the distro now.

0.7.6 has many functional menus and shows that the project is realy
shaping up. I have used it to write a few papers and make good stuff
like that.

Im not sure if there is a precompiled version of abi for linuxppc but i
do know that it compiles right out of the tarball so if you have the
development packages installed you can compile it your self. If not I
can make a precompiled versoin for you....the only catch on that is Im
not sure how to do it. if someone can tell me how to make the rpm Im
sure Peter aswell as a few other people would greatly appreciate it.
