No Abiword For Mac?

Posted by Hemos on from the the-end-of-abiword-for-mac dept.

aliya writes "With Abiword's version 1.90 coming out, their cocoa developer has announced that he will no longer work on a Mac version of the software because he doesn't want to support the company which treated him so poorly. There is a still a somewhat-supported X11 version available, though it is not kept current, and it appears that Abiword will join the abundant ranks of 'almost supported' word processors for Mac OS X."

    actually Konqueror is not based on mozilla, although it's goal is the same, a standards-compliant web browser, it uses it's own lighter-weight engine called kHTML which is also used in Apple's Safari.
