I downloaded AbiWord (from www.abisource.com) two nights ago, and it installed on a FreebSD 4.1 system with absolutely no problems. It is licensed under the GPL. It looks like a stripped-down version of Microsoft Word, with the added benefit that its files are in XML. It can produce RTF output, and sends PostScript either directly to the printer, or to a file. I was able to produce good-quality personal and business letters with no need to look at a manual, and this would be true for anyone who had used Word. I haven't used it much yet, but am very pleased with it so far. An impressive achievement.
