…and then there's TextEdit!

text edit blows which is better aqua or x11 what is the difference

better aqua or x11 what is the difference...... hellloooooo???? any body out there

aqua will run natively on OS X, anything that runs under x11 would require x11 to be installed on your system.

Neo Office is a good one that I have used a bit and I liked it for what it was, free software.

what is x11

oh i think ill just use aqua thanx photek

Well, seeing as how TextEdit is a text editor, and not a word processor . . .

good point but it still sucks

BlueBall..... apologies for the delayed reply :)

OpenOffice Aqua is still a beta... it has a few quirks... but its generally very good... If you don't get on with it.... NeoOffice is also very good and compiled from the same code.

grab the one from the link below that suits your OS....

AQUA....PPC or Intel... English language I presume!

thanks lots

Neither Aqua nor X11 are word processors. You asked for a good, free word processor. TextEdit is in fact a good, free word processor. It's not a great word processor. It's good. You want a great word processor, spend some money and pay the great programmer for his/her work.

TextEdit is not a word processor. :P

(But it's a fine free text editor! And Apple ships the source! Woo!)

Define a word processor. Tabs? It has it. Font selection and control? It has it. Search capabilities? It has it. Spell check? It has it.

SimpleText was a text editor. TextEdit is as much a word processor as many commercial word processors that have been available.

Free and simple
 

I was directed to one called "Bean" it works really well.:D

I had looked at Bean, but I wouldn't find it satisfactory for my needs.

I'm looking for simple lightweight text editor or word processor, which supports tabs=multiple docs open in single window.

Have you tried TextWrangler?

I have not tried yet TextWrangler but i tried BBEdit. It uses Drawer.

Is it possible to force BBEdit to use tabs? I was hoping that TextEdit in Leopard would support tabs.

Any other apps with tabs?
