A while back, I posted a request for leads to a third party library
that would provide me with simple word processor functionality under
Windows.  A few people expressed an interest in hearing about anything
I might find.

The one product that I found is TX Text-Control sold by the Aristos
Company (203-521-0881).  It is a DLL that has a similar API to the
Windows "edit" class.  In fact, the API is so similar that TX also has
a 64k limit.  If that is not a problem, the product demo that I
received shows that TX provides extensive WYSIWYG text formatting
features.  TX is not an open system so I wouldn't be able to extend it
to embed non-text elements. There is however an addon DLL available
that supports embedding tiff images within the text.  The TX DLL is
$1600; the addon is $500.
