- A while back, I posted a request for leads to a third party library
- that would provide me with simple word processor functionality under
- Windows. A few people expressed an interest in hearing about anything
- I might find.
-
- The one product that I found is TX Text-Control sold by the Aristos
- Company (203-521-0881). It is a DLL that has a similar API to the
- Windows "edit" class. In fact, the API is so similar that TX also has
- a 64k limit. If that is not a problem, the product demo that I
- received shows that TX provides extensive WYSIWYG text formatting
- features. TX is not an open system so I wouldn't be able to extend it
- to embed non-text elements. There is however an addon DLL available
- that supports embedding tiff images within the text. The TX DLL is
- $1600; the addon is $500.
