Willy,
MS Word is now available running under Windows - at least in the US. It
hasn't been released here in Australia. You can obtain additional screen fonts
to match the built-in fonts in most PS printers from Adobe or their agents at
reasonable cost. However, I'm still trying to get a Symbol screen font. I've
purchased the Dingbats and Chancery screen fonts, and they work fine. I'd also
like to get hold of a Windows application that builds equations to go into Write
or Word.
