RE: using abiword from command line, win NT server

ok....
so, its promoted as cross-platform, and capable of doing command-line, but
I've not found a mention of the 'UNIX-only' aspect?

Not impressed.

NB: You'll find that using a PS driver and printing to file will produce a
.ps copy...
I'd already checked that via the GUI

Printing from the command line doesn't work in AbiWord
for Windows. Also, our Win32 port uses GDI to draw to
the screen and printer. It is incapable of generating
PostScript. The Unix version prints via PostScript,
though.

The option is '--nosplash'.

As stated above, this won't work on Windows. The
Unix/Linux version will do what you want.
