It would be wonderful if Flwriter could support the ODF.
I would think that would be a very worthy target. But then, at what size? There is not alot of incentive for those of us who appreciate the "small is beautiful". I keep hoping that there will be more new development in the small footprint arena. Bloat everywhere.
And still we have the monolopy to contend with. And their dictates of so called standards. RTF was the closest we could get with our small size.

It doesn't have to, all any word processor was to do is save to text. Save, as formated, to text. And OO picks right up on the txt formatting and there it is.
  I could write in vi or emacs, have done so many times. It would just be a bit nicer if there was something as lite that did simple wp stuff, like "center text", or change font size. Quckly, I mean, not like ted's glacial (on my 486) fontool or other format tool stuff.
  What about a lite little wp that just saved in xml?

TED is the best thing that is known here at the moment, for the sake of RTF & small size

For older computers, you might want to install the Siag Office editor, "Pathetic Writer" and give it a try.

It should be friendlier for older computers, although some users have experienced crashes on their systems.
