Looks aren't really too important when you're going for "damn small" =o)
As I understand it, flwriter had some very annoying bugs that made using it a pain for many people.  That's all I know.

Huh, well Ted sux bigtime. Has almost no functionality as a real word processor. And abiword is way too big and slow for my 486 laptop with only 20mg ram.
   Any suggestions for workable small word processor? Or maybe I'll try installing the fltk libraries and run flwriter with that.

Flwriter is fine if you are on an island with only other Flwriter users.
Just kidding...
Flwriter was not compatible with much. We tried to find an XHTLM to RTF. That would have saved Flwriter. It was the RTF that made for the Ted choice.

Can openoffice read the flwriter files? Or can't they be just saved as txt? That's all I care about -- I only use the 486 laptop as a writing tool to output text which then goes to openoffice on a desktop for final editing.
