Do you want to (a) create RTF files programmatically and/or display RTF files 
from your program or do you want to (b) allow your users to have a simple 
rich-text editor in your program. You can do (a) now in a cross-platform way 
with the FPC rtfpars unit and an external word processor.

I know under Delphi it's a wrapper for that .dll, but why couldn't
Borland just write one from scratch for Kylix?  The same goes for
Lazarus.  Strangely enough, developers come up with all different
kinds of components, but nobody every bothers to write a RichEdit
component from scratch.

That's why I'm asking if it's such an impossible thing that nobody can
do, except the hordes of Microsoft employees.
