Does anyone know of a third-party product or *very reliable* public domain 
word processor that run under X11? The product must be WYSIWYG.

We are running Sun4's and eventually SparcStations so SPARC support is
a must [Hopefully X support means that the product will be portable and
will therefore not necessarily rely on SPARC :-]

I contacted the WordPerfect Corp. and they don't have plans for an X release.

FrameWriter by Frame Technology is the only product I've found thus
far.  Would you suggest or recommend any others? Do you have experience with
using any?

Please e-mail and I will summarize to the net if there's enough interest.

Thanks
