The only reason is, if I can't get something like this in FreeBSD, I'll be forced to waste a couple hundred megs on my FreeBSD machine to dual-boot Windows NT (I can't bring myself to stoop to DOS or Win95) to run MS Word. The person using this will have simple needs, but wants the ability to use multiple fonts & sizes (note that downloadable fonts are not a necessity, the standard "PostScript 35" is enough). It should be easy-to-use, but WYSIWYG is not required. This is a dumb request, as I do *my* word processing on a Mac, and my PC is my "fun" UNIX experimentation machine, which runs everything from Netscape's server to Linux DOOM... Now that I think about it, does MS Word 6 or WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS work under the X PC emulator? -Jason Miller jason@indy.net http://www.indy.net/~jason/index.html -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: 2.6.2 mQCPAy+4V/wAAAEEAK6FKzhiCBfBuCk6Fayk4szGvwPVWMB6Z+C+xbrOGixVevo/ VOzJzsJMBsPWvuZispyu11H3dF2hjxN8hgbPh86LqqTSE2U4FfeVC5RpRQn4IfZi Jp3F+77e91+D8JqI+7Whbts4n+IoujRQg7z6xP+xjwcwVwSasVJ8ULgm7XG5ABEB AAG0HUphc29uIE1pbGxlciA8amFzb25AaW5keS5uZXQ+iQCVAwUQL7vzw1J8ULgm 7XG5AQFCNAP+KxtVoHjcZoqdjhohqBIYtrqbXe5eTBeHxR+IXUxW/WnqfiZPAo4J UtIUuZNS10axKwciUqB+poHZRfA6sgyJZ2zMY7sNzyV1YrD4a8CI4h6+Dz2Et6R8 1t2m/te3Kx0G8tGQzGBY0yKrFP2eBS0eY213uNdLK3Y5+9eZwaGCZ/E= =pNMz -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
