Well, I just spent the last 3 hours porting AbiWord. It was damn hard, but it's working, and you can get it here.

In fact, I didn't have to change a single line of code, but AbiWord's build system is so badly built that it was almost impossible to get everything right.

Enjoy it, I sure hope it was worth all this damn trouble. Well, at least you can now use a native word processor without X11.

Downloading now... Looks very good as far as I can tell from the website: http://www.abisource.com

EDIT: Wow, this app is very good indeed! Liking it very much! Infact, I think this will replace my Microsoft Office Word!

I love free applications...

3 hours is a bit much, especially when compared to drag/drop installations.
