DECwrite from Digital isn't public domain, but it offers a full WYSIWYG
environment, outputs in PostScript or DDIF (or ASCII), etc.

It lists for $1879 (license: $1319, media/doc: $560) in the
Spring/Summer DECdirect Catalog, page 55, 
and I just bet there is some University deal available. Ask your
sales rep.

BTW, I've been using it for about a year, and I have yet to look
at the manual once. It's pretty intuitive. On the DECstation, it's
also quite fast!
