Well because no one has written the code to do the translation. And as Dom
has said AbiWord developers have no reason to want to use Mariner Write so
no AbiWord developers feels the need to work on them. If someone "out
there" wants to write the code to import them and if the code is
reasonable I'm sure we would include it in future builds.
I'm personally much more interested in getting RTF and MS Word documents
"perfectly" imported. Others have put a lot of effort in getting Word
Perfect docs imported and still others are working very hard in getting
Open Document Format fully supported.
Mariner Write is very low on our list.
