- Let me ask you a couple of questions. Can you get a single WYSIWYG word
- processor for the Macintosh with graphics (including EPS) support?
- Remember it has to be WYSIWYG - no stupid box where the EPS graphic
- should be, and I want it to be able to print on non-postscript
- printers. I'll be buying Wordworth 5 soon. I want to know if the Mac
- has anything else that can compare with this.
-
- Can I get GCC 2.7.0 for the Mac, with UNIX emulation (e.g. fork()),
- and a set of GNU tools, including SH and GNU make, so I can compile
- and run UNIX applications? How about X11R6? I ask because I can do all
- of this on the A1200. BTW, none of it costs me anything (and I'm not
- interested in pirate software). Can the Mac do this for me?
-
- And whilst this doesn't interest me personally, I'm sure it would
- interest a lot of people. Does the Mac run Lightwave?
