Win95 version freezes trying to open Word 97 files

I succeeded in opening Abiword after installing the comctrl32.dll patch you
recommended yesterday, thank you.

However, when I tried to open an existing Word 97 file from a floppy, the
dialog boxed greyed out and the machine froze--that is after nothing
happened for a minute or so, I found that Abiword was described by Win95 as
"(not responding)".

Abiword would open some old WordPerfect 5.1 files on the same disk; it
didn't convert them but displayed all the coding and many odd characters,
etc., but it did open them.

Suggestions?
