With all this talk about Graphical User Interfaces lately, I was wondering
what kind of WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) text editors are
available for UNIX systems.
If anyone knows of such systems, please e-mail your evaluations of the
products to me and I will post a summary if there is enough interest.
Thanks in advance,

I think you're really asking about things like Interleaf, which is a combination editor/word processor/page layer outer (something like that). It comes from the Interleaf company in Cambridge Mass. I'm familiar with both the full-bore Interleaf Technical Publishing system, which runs on Apollo, Sun, and other hardware platforms, and a slightly-trimmed version called IBM Interleaf Publisher which runs on AT-compatibles. If you would like more discussion on either, contact me by e-mail. Fred Rowland Hewlett-Packard Avondale Division rowland@hpavla.HP.COM

Also, there's 'The Publisher' from ArborText. It's a semi-WYSIWYG and preview system, based on TeX formatting and SGML document representation. You don't have to learn/use TeX and/or LaTeX - but they're there if you need them. Runs on Sun 2/3/4/386i under Sunview or X, HP 9000/3xx under X. We are a satisfied customer. If you want info, try sales@arbortext.com. Tell them I sent you :-) utgpu!bnr-vpa!bnr-fos!hwt%bnr-public | BNR is not | All that evil requires hwt@bnr (BITNET/NETNORTH) | responsible for | is that good men do (613) 765-2337 (Voice) | my opinions | nothing.
