On a whim, I grabbed the OSX 0.99.2 dmg.gz file. This is a very short (necessarily so) review.
First, if your intent is to install by dragging the folder from the disk image to Applications -- GREAT! That's the way it should be. Second, AbiWord fired up just fine but wouldn't open a document window -- using New, Open, drag&drop, and double-clicking a .abw document all gave the same result (nothing). Hey, at least it doesn't crash. :-) -- Larry Kollar k o l l a r at a l l t e l . n e t "Content creators are the engine that drives value in the information life cycle." -- Barry Schaeffer, on XML-Doc
