 Hi!
  
  I'm looking for MacPaint and MacWrite style software for
  X or NeWS (preferably in the public domain).  Anyone know
  any location I can obtain these from?
   
   Also if anyone out there has a version of troff that runs
   under X or NeWS and the sources for it are available....
    
    Thanks!
     
     (a friend is posting this for me, so) please reply to:

I don't know of a word processing appliction for X (if someone does please
post the source as I am looking for the same thing)  The other applications
are available at:

	expo.lcs.mit.edu           18.30.0.212     

Or just about any other comp.sources.x archive site.  Hope this helps.

DECwrite is a compound document system that runs under X (on DEC equipment,
at least right now).  It does text, graphics, links to other applications,
etc. etc. etc. etc......  DECpaint comes with DECwindows, and is a paint
program.

FrameMaker is also available.  I haven't used it, so have no comment...

idraw (done at Stanford) is quite a nice drawing program.  It is on the
X distribution in the contributed software.

There is other stuff floating around, but I haven't personally seen it run....

The best word processing package on X is the Andrew system which also
comes on the X tape.  See the announcement from Tom Neuendorffer, 5
January, on this bboard.

Andrew supports word processing with multi-media embedded objects:
rasters, tables/spread sheets, drawings, style editor, application
builder, embedded programming language, ... .

Is DECwrite distributed with the X11 distribution ?  If not can we get it
here at CSU ?

I can't find this application on our dist. tapes, is there an ftp site that
has this archived ?

   The best word processing package on X is the Andrew system which also

I haven't used Andrew in a long time, but I have recently used Frame Maker
from Frame Technologies and was very impressed.
