+GNU TeXmacs is a free scientific text editor, which was both inspired
+by TeX and GNU Emacs. The editor allows you to write structured
+documents via a wysiwyg (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) and user
+friendly interface. New styles may be created by the user. The program
+implements high-quality typesetting algorithms and TeX fonts, which
+help you to produce professionally looking documents.
+
+The high typesetting quality still goes through for automatically
+generated formulas, which makes TeXmacs suitable as an interface for
+computer algebra systems. TeXmacs also supports the Guile/Scheme
+extension language, so that you may customize the interface and write
+your own extensions to the editor.
+
+TeXmacs currently runs on PC's and PPC's under Gnu/linux (a >200MHz
+processor and >32Mb of memory are recommended) and on sun computers.
+Converters exist for TeX/LaTeX and they are under development for
+Html/Mathml/Xml. In the future, TeXmacs is planned to evoluate towards
+a complete scientific office suite, with spreadsheet capacities, a
+technical drawing editor and a presentation mode.
