## Installing AbiWord on BeOS / INTEL

The current version of AbiWord (0.7.9) should install and run properly on any BeOS R4 system with an INTEL or INTEL compatible processor.

Please note, this version of AbiWord is only provided in a ZIP file; future versions will be provided in a more installation-friendly format.

The ZIP file installation process is very simple.

1. Download the distribution files ( AbiSuite-0.7.9-i386.zip , 0.9MB).
2. Unzip the files into `/boot/apps`. This will create the directory `AbiSuite`.
3. To run AbiWord, type `/boot/apps/AbiSuite/bin/AbiWord` .
4. Please consult the README file for additional details.
