Interleaf is very nice. I expect there to be a lot of competition for programs like that.

Document preparation systems will also require large screen displays.

I had almost rewritten all of the display code for windows, and that was when I gave up.

The point is that you want to have a system that is responsive.

The Open Source theorem says that if you give away source code, innovation will occur. Certainly, Unix was done this way... However, the corollary states that the innovation will occur elsewhere. No matter how many people you hire. So the only way to get close to the state of the art is to give the people who are going to be doing the innovative things the means to do it. That's why we had built-in source code with Unix. Open source is tapping the energy that's out there.

I think editors have to come out of a certain kind of community.

You can't solve a problem with the management of technology with more technology.
