Require RTF word processor

[Michael Forsythe]

Is there a good free RTF word processor available?

I want to use such a thing so I can read/write RTF documents and
avoid the risk of an MS Word macro.

I like Atlantis Nova. Only 760Kb and loaded with features.

For a simple, small, yet highly usable program, try CopyWriter:

I prefer CryptEdit. It's a very nice editor. Scroll down for the
freeware version and get the files for spell checker, etc. that you
want:

Atlantis Nova is smaller and also very good:

Agreed! However, it has no spell checker.

If the OP needs a spell checker, I recommend AbiWord.

Wow! I took a look at Atlantis Nova a few years ago, and wasn't that
impressed. Look at it now! Boy, this is one for the Best of Free
Software pages!

The description by w8tlftr is for Ocean Mind, which is not freeware.
The freeware version of Atantis Nova has many functions crippled and
does not hold a candle to Crypt Edit, especially when it comes to
tables.

I first tried Atlantis Nova, then I tried Ocean Mind, and found the latter
impressive. I'm going to register it. On a low-end system such as a
P200MMX with 384MB RAM, Word 2000 and Open Office Writer 1.1 feel bloated
and sluggish compared to Ocean Mind. Ocean Mind is swift (eg. starts up
within 2 seconds!) and has all the important word processing features.
Besides this, the user interface is the best I'ver ever used in any
serious word processor, a masterpiece of user-friendlyness compared to
Writer and Word.
