I remember the mid 1980's at school (university). Our operating system
was Primos (from PR1ME, but they switched to Unix later when they
moved to another building and also replaced the computer interely) and
the two most used programs (besides cc and gcc, f77 and other
compilers) were Emacs and WordMarc Composer+ (a text based word
processor, no WYSIWYG what so ever). There was also a DOS version of
WordMarc, but I never liked it…
And after they switched to Unix, they installed a spreadsheet program
called S20/20. Everything text based, most terminals were PT200. Three
colours: Yellow, dark yellow and black… :P

I wonder if it is possible to install WordMarc Composer+ on Linux. Anyone…?
