It was only later when that business was clearly failing that they ported to Linux, and started looking at targeting appliances, and when even that failed the source was opened. I was using BeOS in the late 90s, on Intel, and unless I very much misremember, at that time Abiword was only developed on and targetted at BeOS. The variety of add-ons can be used to greatly enhance AbiWord's functionality, from document import and graphics to Thesaurus and text synonymizer and much more.I'm surprised not to see more mention of BeOS in the history section, which appears to start with the Linux port and the opensourcing of the code. The AbiWord plugin system has been developed to give the program all the functionality you would expect from a modern word processor. On more powerful computers, the functionality of the program can be significantly expanded by connecting new modules The main kernel of the program is very small, which allows AbiWord to work on weak systems. Extensible architecture with a large number of plugins. supports server operation using a powerful command line, in which all the features of AbiWord are available Drafting of standard letters is facilitated and automated with a variety of ready-made templates and special tools Supports Hebrew and Arabic-like languages Includes spell checker and dictionaries for more than 30 languages.
