Anyone know of any commercially available, vendor supported word
processing software for UNIX other than nroff/troff?  We are interested
in acquiring and evaluting potential office-automation, word processing
packages that are compatible with UNIX.  For our applications, nroff
and its relatives are far too cryptic and user-abusive.  What we'd
really like is a "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" package of editor/formatter.
Doesn't have to be super powerful, though.

	Maybe we don't advertize enough, but Fortune has an
	extremely user-friendly word processing system which
	runs under UNIX. The user interface is based on Wang
	word processing which we have taken an expanded upon.
	Our package supports foreign characters, and by chang-
	ing our strings files, we can make the system come up
	under any language desired. We have currently implemented
	Fortune:Word in English, German, and French with more
	to come.

	We have text editing, hyphenation/pagination, a spelling
	checker and other goodies.

	We also have the software to transfer documents to and
	from Wang word processing.
