Is anyone aware of Microsoft Word's being made available for Unix
systems?  How about Word Perfect?  I believe Word Perfect is available
for Xenix systems.  I use the Macintosh version of Microsoft Word
(4.0) on a daily basis.  I'm becoming pretty proficient in vi.  But I 
am trying to teach some of my adjunct faculty members and others how
to do news and mail, and they are not yet ready for the challenge of
vi.  If I could install an easier-to-use editor on the Encore Multimax
(Umax) Unix system, it would simplify things a great deal. These folks
use either Word for Mac or MS/DOS or they use Word Perfect.
