more on Andrew:

The Andrew Toolkit (ATK) is a portable user-interface toolkit that
runs under X11. It provides a dynamically-loadable object-oriented
environment wherein objects can be embedded in one another. It
includes an editor (ez) that includes all one expects in an editor
(for a wp, doesnt compare to emacs of course), but documents also can
contain embedded raster images, spreadsheets (which can also be used
just as tables and which can have embedded objects themselves!),
drawing editors, equations, simple animations, clocks and calendars
(that work IN the document), etc. The system also includes an
extensive help system. All files are stored in ascii format and one
can include {\tt troff} commands for special needs. Postscript
printing of the multimedia documents is supported via troff (or, in
the case of Linux, GNU's groff).
 source is at ftp.x.org; linux binaries at sunsite.unc.edu in 
(as i recall) the /pub/Linux/X11/andrew subdir
