    A bunch of files are compatible across platforms.
    Namely:

    1) The dictionaries, if you're using Ispell on Unix
    instead of Aspell/Pspell
    2) The clipart
    3) The system.profile files
    4) The help files
    5) The other icons/artwork

    It's also possible to run a Windows AbiWord binary on
    Linux using Wine. Traditionally, this has been a
    little dodgy, mainly because of an outstanding bug in
    Wine's font handling.

    Hope that helps,
    Dom
