What is a .ZABW file?

ZABW is a gzip-compressed AbiWord document - the same .abw word-processor XML, just packed down to save space.

Did you know: AbiWord stores documents as plain XML, so zipping it into a .zabw can shrink a wordy file dramatically with no loss.
Analyser handles .ZABW alongside related formats such as .SLA, .SCD, .WPS and more.
In Analyser's format library, .ZABW sits in the Documents & e-books category.
What Analyser reads: Identify and read more document, e-book and publishing files: Scribus (.sla/.scd version, pages, fonts), MS Works and Windows Write, Word 97 templates (.dot), StarOffice 5.x binary docs, Shanda Bambook and Sony BBeB (.lrf/.lrx) e-books, FrameMaker, document templates and legacy PageMaker.
Depth of analysis: .ZABW is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
Open a .ZABW file: Drag a .ZABW file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
