Finally, it's as mature as OpenOffice

AbiWord has finally caught up with OpenOffice. It's not 64-bit clean:


lookup.cpp: In member function 'int ISpellChecker::linit(char*)':
lookup.cpp:347: error: cast from 'char*' to 'int' loses precision
lookup.cpp:351: error: cast from 'dent*' to 'int' loses precision
lookup.cpp:358: error: cast from 'ichar_t*' to 'int' loses precision
lookup.cpp:362: error: cast from 'ichar_t*' to 'int' loses precision

There is a "Linux Autopackage" binary on the website, but it's i386-only.
