[CS-FSLUG] Abiword

[Don Parris]

You could try ted.  It's a rich text editor in the fashion of Word
Pad.  Apparently it's a full-fledged word processor, but I'm about .06
versions behind (2.10).  I know it does tables.Not glitzy, but
definitely quite handy-looking.  And weighing in at < a 3MB download,
you might just like it.
