Anyone know of a RTF (Rich Text Format) editor for X/View or OpenLook v2?

We've got some folks here on Suns that need to exchange and integrate documents
with others running Microsoft Word on MacIntosh (System 7 or 6) and MS Windows.
One approach has been to use a MacIntosh software emulation (s6 only) on the
workstations, but the performace has been slower than some of us would like.
Since the task at hand is to create documents and not emulate Macs and I expect
the probability of seeing "Word for X/View" in the near future is about as high
as (to borrow from Jay Leno) seeing Pope Sinead, I'm hoping to find something
that will let me create RTF files directly on the workstation and save the
overhead of the software emulation.

Please respond by email, since the news system here has a _very_ tiny disk and
ages out articles in some groups that are as old as two days.

Thanks in advance..						-- Frank
