New Commercial Word Processor For FreeBSD

Posted by timothy on from the first-mover dept.

martin-k writes "There is commercial software built for FreeBSD after all... SoftMaker, a German vendor of office apps, just ported the TextMaker word processor to FreeBSD, making this the fifth platform it runs on (after Windows, Pocket PC, Handheld PC, and Linux). Blazingly fast, reads and writes Microsoft Word files seamlessly, and offers everything you expect from a modern word processor. Also coming to your desktop: the PlanMaker spreadsheet and DataMaker database package."

  1. More platforms to come... by martin-k · · Score: 2, Informative
    TextMaker started out under Windows, got ported to Pocket PCs, Handheld PCs, Linux and now to FreeBSD.

    Just for kicks, we did an x86 Solaris port in an afternoon. I guess we'll do a few more Unices -- except for Unixware, of course.
