I realize this is a shot in the dark, but I was wondering if there are any decent word processors out there (not programmer's editors) that work in just text mode. I guess the only obvious answer here is Latex? I would like to be able to composed decent looking stuff via an ssh connection, without then having to import and reformat pure ascii into staroffice or something similar. Is this possible, and does it make sense? I would like to start a database of assorted tips for BSD. I was wondering what the simplest way would be to get started. I have theoretical database experience but I have never set up MySQL or any other real DB. I would like a simple interface that allows me to type an command and either enter a new tip with keywords or heading, or query for a matching tip. Or is this just as easily implemented as flat ascii with grep? Lastly, does anyone know why the freebsd-uk server is down? I'm being forced to use my rogue SunOS account. :-/ jonathon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
