Good software that I did not write

Ted
A word processor for RTF files. This is a really pretty good program that proves that simpler and smaller is better. It uses X-Windows and the Motif widget set.

AbiWord
Word lookalike for Linux/etc and X-Window. This is a slow, bulky program, so if you don't have a fast processor and 32 megs or more of RAM, forget it. Good quality however.
