- It's not. It's 'simply' an X-based text editor, akin to Emacs and the
- like. It's a great editor, but not a WYSIWYG word processor. The
- latest version compiles and works cleanly under Linux (maybe a couple
- of quick changes here and there, but nothing major). The same goes
- for the recently released 'sam', which is the Plan 9 editor.
