I have yet to see one that you could also drop onto a secretary's computer. For me, using TeX or troff is fine. I love the flexibility, and the nice output appearance. For a secretary, you can't get away with vi or emacs or TeX or troff. I don't say you need WISYWING (it's useless since the screen resolution is so much less than the printer resolution). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
