- Anyone know of a RTF (Rich Text Format) editor for X/View or OpenLook v2?
-
- We've got some folks here on Suns that need to exchange and integrate documents
- with others running Microsoft Word on MacIntosh (System 7 or 6) and MS Windows.
- One approach has been to use a MacIntosh software emulation (s6 only) on the
- workstations, but the performace has been slower than some of us would like.
- Since the task at hand is to create documents and not emulate Macs and I expect
- the probability of seeing "Word for X/View" in the near future is about as high
- as (to borrow from Jay Leno) seeing Pope Sinead, I'm hoping to find something
- that will let me create RTF files directly on the workstation and save the
- overhead of the software emulation.
-
- Please respond by email, since the news system here has a _very_ tiny disk and
- ages out articles in some groups that are as old as two days.
-
- Thanks in advance.. -- Frank
