Hi,
I'm looking for a simple and user-friendly editor for a Silicon Graphics
Personal Iris system. This will be used be a rather inexperienced user (he
has some experience on PCs, e.g. with WordPerfect).
Vi and Emacs with their cryptic commands are out of the question.
- Is there such a (preferably a PD) editor?
- Is WordPerfect available on this machine?
- Is there a PC-emulator (SoftPC?) under which MS-DOS programs (like
WP) can run? If so, what can this emulator do and how fast is it?
- XView seems to run on the Iris. Does "textedit" work?
Thanks for any info.
