Ted is a text processor running under X Windows on Unix systems. It was developed as a standard easy word processor, having the role of Wordpad on MS-Windows. Since then, Ted has evolved to a real word processor that still has the same easy appearance as the original. The possibility to type a letter, a note or a report on a Unix machine is clearly missing. Only too often, you have to turn to MS-Windows machine to write a letter or a document. Ted was made to make it possible to edit rich text documents on Unix in a wysiwyg way. RTF files from Ted are fully compatible with MS-Word. Additionally, Ted also is an RTF to PostScript and an RTF to Acrobat PDF converter.
Ted-2.12: description + notes
This product installs its X application default files in
/usr/freeware/lib/X11/app-defaults, which is not on the default X search path. There are several ways to extend your X search path. TheXUSERFILESEARCHPATH,XAPPLRESDIR,XFILESEARCHPATH, andXENVIRONMENTenvironment variables all affect resource file loading. The easiest methods are to either create a symlink in/usr/lib/X11/app-defaultsor to add code similar to this to your startup scripts:% export XUSERFILESEARCHPATH= ${XUSERFILESEARCHPATH:+${XUSERFILESEARCHPATH}:} /usr/freeware/lib/X11/%T/%N%C%S: /usr/freeware/lib/X11/%T/%N%S: /usr/freeware/lib/X11/app-defaults/%N%C%S: /usr/freeware/lib/X11/app-defaults/%N%S(IfXUSERFILESEARCHPATHis already set we append the new directories separated by a colon, otherwise we simply set it to the new colon-separated list. The line wrapping above is for clarity; the actual value should be a single line with no embedded whitespace or backslashes.)
