[net.text] List of UNIX

anne@digi-g.UUCP (Anne Chenette) (01/23/85)

Several months ago, I sent out a request for information 
on word processors that would run on UNIX systems.  I got 
numerous requests for the information that I garnered, so 
I'm posting it for those who may be interested.  If anyone 
has any information on other word processors, I would 
appreciate hearing it.  Our site has still not bought a 
word processor, as we are still evaluating the 3 that will 
run on our Pixel.

P.S. No qualitative judgement is to be implied by the 
     brevity or prolixity of my comments - some are 
     more familiar to me than others, and I merely 
     listed what I know.

P.P.S. I apologize in advance for any errors; 
       corrections are appreciated.
