   MP>Is Jarte a windows program?   
      
   Yes, I was just checking and it doesn't mention other systems.   
   It did say that it is 'based' on the Wordpad Engine but, like a   
   lot of modified 'copies' of programs, the interface and options   
   are quite a bit improved/expanded.   
      
   MP>> Because of all that I rarely use a Word Processor program anymore.

   I usually install Kingsoft to do most of the Office type work, but   
   the more recent versions of that bug you or time limit you to buy   
   the paid version. I install an older version which still works well   
   but isn't as bothersome. These days I don't do anything with   
   spreadsheets or databases really, and Jarte has been more than   
   adequate on the rare occasions when I need a Word Processor.   
      
   Jarte hasn't been updated in a while. I'm running v6.2 and they are   
   still offering that as the Final (no longer supported) version.   
   There were also portable ZIP versions to try it out.   
      
   I think the main installer is not much over 5 meg.
