For the word processor you have a couple of options (all of them can be built and installed from the ports collection). There's Star Office (kinda slow because of Linux emulation, but it has a decent GUI), there's Lyx which is an almost-WYSIWYG application for TeTeX, there's Emacs and finally Vi. For printing graphics and documents on a d matrix printer (I'm assuming that it does not support postscript natively) install apsfilter. Hope this helps. -burton- On Sun, 14 Dec 1997, Charlie Roots wrote: > Hi there, > After about a year now, enjoying and learning FreeBSD, and loving it > more and more everyday, I decided that I know enough to keep me a > little bit remote from the possiblity of destroying everything on the > FreeBSD Partition, so I decided to REMOVE _WIN95_ completely and > giving FreeBSD 2.1 Gigabytes more. > > I need BADLY a descent and FREE word procesor to help me write my > essays, and don't tell me xword becuase it is highly unstable and > always crashing, and Formating is ugly. > I also need help on Printing Graphics on FreeBSD, I don't mean I will > be printing Images or pictures, no Just formatted Documents, on a DOT > MATRIX printer. > > Please FreeBSD guys, Help me to get rid of Windows 95. > > > > > == > MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU. > _________________________________________________________ > DO YOU YAHOO!? > Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com > >
