Subject: any X11 based WYSIWYG word processors ?
Date: 19 Nov 1992 12:52:36 GMT

Hi,
I wonder if there are cheap (*) word processors based on X11 that can
do more than emacs, for example:
        - WYSIWYG, i.e. text attributes like sub/superscript, bold,
          underlined, slanted ...
        - Menue oriented
        - perhaps a common output format (e.g. PostScript)

(*): cheap means free or nearly for free.

It seems that there is strong support for image processing by clients
that comes with X ("xv", "xloadimage"), but none for WYSIWYG text processing.
If you have some hints or information or even a ftp-location for such
a thing, please drop me a mail!

By the way, the availability of such a tool as part of the X11 distribution
would improve the acceptance of X11 and even of UNIX...

Dennis
