Well, I like it, but I have sent in some bugs. In my own typical fashion,
I got it to generate a Word file that caused Word to hang and Textmaker
to segfault. And I have a file that it does a terrible job of translating 
to html. But then, Word often does a terrible job of html translatoin too.
Let me repeat - I do like it and use it, though. It ain't perfect, but it's 
the best word processor I have experienced lately.
