Re: Applications: WP/SS

My first option is to port something. I'm thinking it
shouldn't be too difficult to port xspread or
something similar, although the menus and bindings
might have to be reworked to fit better in a pocket
environment.

I don't know of any word-processors fitting the bill.
I've never written a word-processor or text editor,
though I would suspect it's not that difficult to
write a simple one. Perhaps I can hack some RTF
extensions into Pyditor. My end goal would be to have
something compatible with a subset of DocBookXML,
either directly or through an importer/exporter
mechanism (the importer could use XSLT, assuming
Python's XML support includes, or can be extended to
include, XSLT).

My serial cable is scheduled to arrive on Wednesday.
I'll know more then. In the meantime, I just have to
continue waiting patiently. Maybe I'll take this time
to install the cross-compiler tool chain.
