Message-ID: Date: 2 Nov 90 09:08:08 GMT Sender: news@dnlunx.pttrnl.nl Reply-To: BJ_Lippolt@pttrnl.nl Lines: 21 Hi, I'm looking for a simple and user-friendly editor for a Silicon Graphics Personal Iris system. This will be used be a rather inexperienced user (he has some experience on PCs, e.g. with WordPerfect). Vi and Emacs with their cryptic commands are out of the question. - Is there such a (preferably a PD) editor? - Is WordPerfect available on this machine? - Is there a PC-emulator (SoftPC?) under which MS-DOS programs (like WP) can run? If so, what can this emulator do and how fast is it? - XView seems to run on the Iris. Does "textedit" work? Thanks for any info. Ben J.
