Introduction
Pathetic Writer is an X-based word processor for Linux. It uses
Scheme (a Lisp dialect) as an
extension language, which makes it easy to create new
functions (for native Lispers, that is).
It is copyrighted by
me, Ulric Eriksson, but is free for use by anybody
without paying me any money. Read the file
COPYING for
more information. The latest version is 2.70.
The name Pathetic Writer describes the program pretty well. It is
also funnier than Poetic Writer. Finally, "pw" is "wp" in reverse.
Pathetic Writer is distributed together with SIAG and Egon.
The rest can be left out at the cost of reduced functionality.
These are not the original versions of anything. I have
modified the sources to give the programs a more uniform look.
It works for me.
