HISTORY
       AbiWord	was  started  in  1998 by AbiSource Inc., a company founded by
       SourceGear corporation. The initial plan was to	build  a  free	office
       suite  named  AbiSuite,	encompassing  word processing, spreadsheet and
       presentation applications. As they didn’t have a	 usable	 product  when
       their  venture  capital was up, the code already developed (namely Abi‐
       Word) was made open source.  AbiWord development was subsequently taken
       over by volunteers and is driven by the community to date.
