I DON'T want "M$ Word" ported to linux, I don't use X. I would like a simple word processor (like WordPerfect 5.1 (or maybe less complex),) but something that I can edit documents with. I also would like a Lotus 123 Clone for the VT. Is it out there, and I just can't find it or am I barking up the wrong tree?? Jeff
