Time to clarify: Aqua is just a use interface look. Nothing else. It does not designate any technology. Current version of AbiWord that RUNS on MacOS X is just the UNIX version, gtk based, that currently require X11 to run and a X display to display. XDarwin provide that X11 clients and X server in rootless mode. But you can have any other X server like Tenon's commercial product or wathever, including X server runing in Classic. The MacOS X native version (ie one that is really MacOS X friendly in term of GUI and application interoperability or integration) will be Cocoa based. I hope that clarifies everything and will stop this fly f***ing session. Hub
