AbiWord Anyone?
« on: May 13, 2003, 02:21:56 AM »
Has anyone heard of AbiWord before? It's an open source word processor, currently for Windows, MacOS (X only…DARN :-x ), and various brands of Linux/Unix. I'm no developer, so I can't port it to MacOS9 or AmigaOS or MorphOS.

That's why I'm asking you guys. :-)

I just had one of those wierd, highly impractical, yet exciting ideas that would be great if they could just be done. :-D

What if someone were to write an application that would take source code for a certain platform and, well, roughly port it to a different platform? Would not such a beasty save an awful lot of work?

Of course we'd need at least four of them: Windows to Amiga; Mac to Amiga; Linux to Amiga; and Unix to Amiga. ;-)

(I'm thinking of AmigaOS and MorphOS as somewhat similar here)
