I am looking for a word-processing style editor to use on UNIX PC (AT&T 7300) running version 3.51 Sys V. This is for my wife, who is uncomfortable with computers in general and cannot function easily with the vi/emacs editors and nroff formatters. basic requirements: - be a WYSIWYG full-screen editor. - automatic on-screen reformatting as text is inserted and deleted. - support for user-defined character sets (unless there is a standard Old English font around) - generates output for Epson compatible printers desirables: - on-screen display of alternate character sets. - mouse directed text select/remove/copy/insert. - customizable handling of footnotes and bibliography references. I would appreciate suggestions and comments from anyone with experience with such a beast, either commercial or PD. Please mail to me directly. I will forward the responses to anyone who is interested. thanks, Bob Haar G.M. Research Labs uunet!edsews!rphroy!rcsuna!rhaar HAAR@GMR.COM (CSNET)
