We want to obtain information about word-processing systems with the
following characteristics:
1. what-you-see-is-what-you-get (or almost)
2. ability for mathematical equations
3. ability for footnotes
4. ability for tables
5. available to run under Unix(tm) system V.2 (and perhaps MS-DOS)
We already have n/t/ditroff under Unix with tbl and n/eqn, but we want a system
which is simple enough for novice secretaries to use almost immediately after
starting work. (We also have FortuneWord, but this is inadequate for points
2 and 3.) Please email, and I'll summarise to the net. Thanks in advance.
