Re: lightweight RTF viewer?
Thanks all for the great suggestions!
Just for your curiousity, the memory consumption for a few of these
programs looks like this, when the same few pages RTF file loaded:
Ted VSZ = 4572 RSS = 3400
AbiWord VSZ = 8324 RSS = 6308
WP 8.0 VSZ = 13660 RSS = 8404
Just for a relative gauge as to what "lightweight" might be, with the
same RTF (although it looks like garbage, of course):
vim VSZ = 1700 RSS = 948
emacs VSZ = 6652 RSS = 4708
RSS will likely vary, unless you have loads of RAM like me. Ted seems
to come up the fastest, but some of the fonts look a little chunky,
though that's probably a problem with my X fonts config. I think
AbiWord will probably work the best in my environment since it uses
gtk+, and I'm using the GNOME desktop, so AbiWord can plug into ORBit.
