Things like WORDPERFECT are available for UNIX, but not as far as I
know for LINUX. And I'd be surprised if it *ever* is.
Well, let me repeat my plug for 'doc', the WSYWYG editor/wordpro/DTP
thingie in the standard Interviews distrib. It may not have every
bell&whistle, but its OO organization makes it very impressive and
flexibe (yes, tables, pictures, multiple columns, whatever).
You can find ready-compiled interviews 3.1 binaries on most Linux
FTP sites; the name of the files begins with iv3.1 and they are in the
X11 subtree.
