<P>
Ted is a text processor 
running under X Windows on Unix/Linux systems. <I>Ted</I> was developed 
as a standard easy word processor, having the role of <I>Wordpad</I> on 
MS-Windows, but more powerful. In our 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. <I>Ted</I>s function is to be able to edit rich text 
documents on Unix/Linux in a <I>wysiwyg</I> way.
<P>
Compatibility with popular 
MS-Windows applications played an important role in the design of <I>Ted</I>. 
Every document produced by <I>Ted</I> should, without any loss of 
formatting or information, be accepted as a legal .rtf file by <I>Word</I>. 
Compatibility in the other direction is more difficult to achieve. <I>
Ted</I> supports most basic text formatting, as supported by the 
Microsoft applications. Other formatting instructions and meta 
information are ignored.  By ignoring unsupported formatting <I>Ted</I> 
tries to get the complete text of a document on screen. <I>Ted</I> can 
be used to read formatted e-mail sent from a Windows machine to Unix.

<UL COMPACT><LI><FONT FACE="Helvetica,Arial" SIZE=3>Wysiwyg rich text editing. 
You can use all fonts for which you have a .afm file and that are

the Adobe fonts that are available on Motif systems and in all 
postscript printers: <FONT FACE="Times,Times New Roman">Times</FONT>,

files from <I>Microsoft Word</I> and <I>Wordpad</I>. As <I>Ted</I> does 
not support all features of <I>Word,</I>some formatting information 
might be lost.</LI>
