I am looking for a word-processing style editor to use on
UNIX PC (AT&T 7300) running version 3.51 Sys V. This is for my
wife, who is uncomfortable with computers in general and cannot
function easily with the vi/emacs editors and nroff formatters.
basic requirements:
- be a WYSIWYG full-screen editor.
- automatic on-screen reformatting as text is
inserted and deleted.
- support for user-defined character sets (unless there
is a standard Old English font around)
- generates output for Epson compatible printers
desirables:
- on-screen display of alternate character sets.
- mouse directed text select/remove/copy/insert.
- customizable handling of footnotes and bibliography
references.
I would appreciate suggestions and comments from anyone with
experience with such a beast, either commercial or PD.
Please mail to me directly. I will forward the responses to
anyone who is interested.
thanks,
