PW (Pathetic Writer) is an X-based word processor for Unix. Support for RTF (Rich Text Format) allows documents to be exchanged between Pathetic Writer and legacy Windows applications. External converters such as Caolan McNamara's WV can be used to read virtually any format, including Microsoft Word.
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language as featured on the World Wide Web) can be loaded and saved, making it possible to instantly publish PW documents on the Internet.
