Check Version

This command connects to the AbiWord website, and tells it which version of AbiWord you are currently running. The site will then tell you whether there is a newer version available. You need an internet connection for this command to work. The only information sent to the website is the version number of your copy of AbiWord.

About AbiWord...

This command opens the 'About' window, which includes very brief information about the program. Abi the Ant is the project's mascot, and is credited as the main developer because there are too many real developers to list, and no good way of selecting one as the most important.

The AbiSource.com link will take you to the AbiWord website.
