[comp.sys.apollo] Editors/word processors for Apollo/Unix???

bhagwan@voodoo.UUCP (The Bhagwan) (07/15/87)

Hi,

	We're looking for any editor/word processor (PD or commercial)
	that runs under Unix on Apollos. We've got the obvious ones:

		Vi/ed
		Gnu Emacs
		Apollo DM

	What we really need is an editor/WP that is very easy to learn
	and includes basic text formatting capabilities:

		Paragraph justification
		Indented paragraphs
		enumerated paragraphs
		etc...

	I'm not aware of any commercial WP packages for Unix ala Word,
	WordStar, etc. Maybe someone out there knows of one.

Thanks for the help,

Interleaf's "WPS" or "TPS"  might be good choices.  "WPS" works well for me.

We are using DOC and PICED in conjunction with Mentor Graphics CAD
software. The wordprocessing stuff can be bought directly from
Context Corporation (a Mentor subsidiary).
