[net.text] Easy-to-learn, WYSIWYG, technical word processors?

bobm@agsm.unsw.oz (Robert Marks) (06/05/86)

We want to obtain information about word-processing systems with the
following characteristics:
	1.  what-you-see-is-what-you-get (or almost)
	2.  ability for mathematical equations
	3.  ability for footnotes
	4.  ability for tables
	5.  available to run under Unix(tm) system V.2 (and perhaps MS-DOS)

We already have n/t/ditroff under Unix with tbl and n/eqn, but we want a system
which is simple enough for novice secretaries to use almost immediately after
starting work.  (We also have FortuneWord, but this is inadequate for points
2 and 3.)  Please email, and I'll summarise to the net.  Thanks in advance.
