From the previous thread in this newsgroup it is getting clear that,
unix is lacking a "cheap real word processor". (like MS Word)


I know that you guys are busy enhancing kernel and driver code.


But i think that, the time spent writing a Motif free word
processor is time really worth spent.

(please don't give emacs+groff as a solution)


Put an end to this bullshit called NT.


good luck,
