I use StarOffice (v5.0 just released).  It's an all-on-one office suite
whose word-processor component makes a really decent WYSIWYG web page
editor (just Save As... HTML).  The built-in draw and graphic-editor
components are quite nicely-featured as well.  The word-processor
interface also acts as a web browser, and email, news and ftp clients are
rolled in as well.  When working on HTML, its "View Source" function lets
you directly text-edit the code, and even color-codes it for you.  Makes
for a kick-ass all-in-one web-editing package, IMHO.

There are OS/2, Win32, Linux and Solaris versions available for download
from StarDivision's site (www.stardivision.com); registration is free for
personal use.  Or for about US$40, they'll ship the CD with the version of
your choice, complete with hardcopy manual.


 Your friend and mine,
 Matt
