I got the latest icewm and then noticed that I am running BL3.30.
I think Steven did something different to the fonts for 3.31 and 3.32.
Was there anything else changed?  I have not been keeping track of recent 
changes that I made to BL3 and don't want to reinstall it.

The md5sum for abiword is posted in an old message to the list but was not 
at the site yesterday.

Does anyone know if the BL3 abiword imports WORD and WP51/DOS tables 
properly?  I just discovered I am driving someone at a translation agency 
somewhat crazy by sending her WP51/DOS - the WORD import filter does not 
do tables or columns correctly so she has to reformat.  Also when people 
send me WORD documents with columns or tables in them antiword and an old 
DOS port of wvware (which I think abiword uses as a filter) turn three 
columns into one long one and otherwise line things up wrong (indents) 
even as ps or html rather than texts so I had to use Win98 and the WORD 
viewer.  I have not tried catdoc yet.  On top of which the company I do 
most of my work for had an office flood and replaced the computers but not 
the WP51 import filter.
