RE: Re[2]: Abi2.4.0: Maintaining Windows 9x

I have been trying not to clog the site with "ditto", but I'm in the same
boat: must use Windows for some employment-related work, but definitely
using Linux (mepis is great, but I'm still exploring) and Abi helps keep a
level of interoperability with word processing - what I do most.

I appreciate continued support of Abi for older versions of Win (e.g. 95 &
98).

As Alan Horkan has said, it's up to all of us to take on some of the
testing burden.

One brief follow-up: I'm migrating slowly to Linux too, and Abiword has
helped enormously. I can't completely abandon Windows, but a nifty
version of Abiword on Mepis Linux has allowed me to keep all my work
archived in Abiword files while working on both Linux and various
versions of Windows. Excellent. So maintaining the older Windows 9x
versions also enables the gradual migration to Linux (I'm thinking a lot
of Windows users shift to Linux *before* moving to something like
Windows XP?).
