Could you explain what you mean when you say "word processor?" Does emacs or vi or ed or whatever do what you want, or are you looking for something that does fonts and stuff like that in addition to doing plain-text? If the latter, is a formatter like latex OK for you, or do you mean WYSIWYG when you say "word processor?" If the latter, have you tried the Andrew software on the X contrib tape? If you're looking for something that does fonts, etc. WYSIWYG, you probably should follow up this message to comp.windows.x, since anything you find is going to need X, and the people in that newsgroup can probably help you better than the people in comp.unix.questions can. (In case anybody doesn't know, WYSIWYG stands for "What You See Is What You get.") -- Jonathan Kamens USnail: MIT Project Athena 11 Ashford Terrace jik@Athena.MIT.EDU Allston, MA 02134 Office: 617-253-8085 Home: 617-782-0710
