The 900K download was an .exe for Windows.

For linux you need 1.7MB source code package.
Steven, do you want to compile the plugins for Abiword?  This may need to 
be done while compiling Abiword itself, enabling plugins.

They are up to version 2.6.3 and we have 1.0.6 (2002) - will it work with 
the later plugins?  I did not find earlier source code.  2.6.3 is about 
9MB for Abiword.
