Hello,

Be warned! this dotpup overwrites the origional abiword files.
It might be best to boot live and all in ram as a test.

This is Abiword 2.4.5 recompiled with smooth scrolling off. It now works great on old machines < 1ghz.

tested on puppy versions 2.00 and 2.02.
I put it up on my own web site, since I'm new at this and don't know any better.

If something goes wrong, you can get a new copy of Abiword done by a pro from here:

11/06: I installed this on Muppy, 2.11 based puppy derivative, and it works, but there was two abiwords, one in /usr/bin and one in usr/local/bin You have to delete the one in usr/bin so that the abiword menu icons pick up the noscroll version in /usr/local/bin.

This i s the most fantastic thing since sliced bread, if you are using Abi on older hardware, this is a must have!!!
Thanks again Karl.
