Thanks guys. Both of your suggestions were helpful.
I queried for the earlier version of abiword and found
it.
But when I tried to upgrade I was told I was missing
four files or packages:
gal >= .8
gnome-print >=.29
libgal.so.18
libgnomeprint.so.18
I've looked around online, and have found various
versions of these, and have read that they also need
certain packages, that maybe I need to upgrade gnome,
and on and on. So I think I'm going to lay off
upgrading abiword for now.
Thanks nonetheless for your help.
Colin.
