I've recently seen Applixware (a package similar in style to MS Office,
but quite as capable) on sale for about $90.00 for a student license. It
is billed as running under RedHat, but might also run under Slackware.

Great! But where did you see it?
If I want to buy a copy in the UK (plus not a student) how much do you
recon it would be.

One alternative for the WYSWYG word processor is the RedHat Applixware.
From what I have seen/heard, it can read all popular formats (Word 6, WP
5.1/6, etc), and has most of the functionality of other wordprocessors.

1. WYSWYG Printing in UNIX ? Help !
Hello everybody,
I need some help on this project.
I need to know if there is any shareware software or any Commercial
product available that would enable a word processor progarm written in
XWindows and Motif to print to any of the available printers.
Is there any X Windows program or script that would enable my program to
print through some function all the fonts in the page of the word processor
Also, there is a possibility of putting images in the document, which we
would want to get printed. Somebody suggested using PostScript to put all
the page information in page description language, but again postscript
is not available in all printers. So, we have to decide on some page
description language that can be generic.
Is there any other approach to solve this problem ?
I would appreciate any pointers
Is nroff a good choice to do ? Is it out of date technology ?
Please respond to us via email .
Thanks
