> > I would like to know if there are any editors out there that > > run under X or Motif. > I prefer vi myself. 8-) Ditto, but for real answers check the latest (5/4/91) FAQ in comp.windows.x, which discusses X-based word-processors and editors. Of the X-based text editors, probably xedit, emacs, and epoch are the most accessible: You can ftp the latest version of emacs, including X11 support, from prep.ai.mit.edu [18.71.0.38]. The file you probably want is ~ftp/pub/gnu/emacs-18.55.tar.Z, or similarly-named files. Epoch is a modified version of Gnu Emacs with additional facilities useful in an X environment. Current sources are on cs.uiuc.edu (128.174.252.1) in ~ftp/pub/epoch-files/epoch; the current [2/91] version is 3.2. [In Europe, try unido.informatik.uni-dortmund.de]. There are two subdirectories: epoch contains the epoch source, and gwm contains the source to the programmable window manager GWM, with which epoch works well. You can get on the Epoch mailing list by sending a request to epoch-request@cs.uiuc.edu. The Andrew system on the X11R4 tape has been described as one of the best word-processing packages available. It supports word processing with multi-media embedded objects: rasters, tables/spread sheets, drawings, style editor, application builder, embedded programming language, &c.
