Hi Mehmet,

The file is forward-compatible, but we don't guarantee
backwards-compatibility. Some files created by 2.6/2.8 would probably
refuse to load in 2.4.

I don't know how your "print server" works, but AbiWord 2.8 (due out
in about 1-2 weeks) does a much better job printing than 2.4 did.

Cheers,
Dom
