LinuxPR: Ted 2.7, an easy rich text processor for Unix/X-Windows released Jan 5, 2000, 05 :37 UTC (2 Talkback[s]) (4802 reads)
"Ted is a text processor running under X Windows on Unix/Linux systems.
Ted was developed as a standard easy word processor, having the role
of Wordpad on MS-Windows, but more powerful. In my opinion, the
possibility to type a letter or a note on a Unix/Linux machine is
clearly missing. Only too often, you have to turn to a Windows machine
to write a letter or an e-mail message. Teds function is to be able to
edit rich text documents on Unix/Linux in a wysiwyg way...."
"Compatibility with popular MS-Windows applications played an important
role in the design of Ted. Every document produced by Ted should be
accepted as a legal .rtf file by Word without any loss of formatting
or information. Compatibility in the other direction is more difficult
to achieve. Ted supports most text formatting, as supported by the
Microsoft applications. Advanced formatting instructions and meta
information are ignored.*) By ignoring unsupported formatting Ted
tries to get the complete text of a document on screen. Ted can be
used to read formatted e-mail sent from a Windows machine to Unix, or
as an RTF viewer in Netscape."
