I have followed a couple of discussions on setting up mathematical equations in word perfect, but have never been very successful in doing so with the 5.1 tools. Part of my problem is not having a mouse. However, I have been pretty successful using one of the companion systems, of which there are several. I would like to ask those who may have already been into some prior to WP51 whether they continue to do so, or whether they have switched to the wp51 tools. The system I am presently using is called "Mathedit" and can be obtained from K-Talk in Columbus Ohio (614-294-3535). It seems to have the ability to fairly easily construct reasonably large equations and create files which can then be integrated into Word Perfect (or a number of other Word Processors). I have heard one report that says the text is better from Mathedit if you have a dot matrix printer, but just the same if Postscript. I have also heard (and experienced) that adjusting the location of mathematical symbols is easier in Mathedit. If you want to try this particular one (what are the others in use and how do they work?) I put a copy of their demo disk on anonymous ftp.fsu.edu as ~/pub/cain/mathedit.exe. This can be retrieved with a get in binary mode and then "exploded" by executing the file. Oh, I should mention that all this discussion is in reference to ibm pc clones, not Mac's or unix, etc. Joseph Cain cain@geomag.gly.fsu.edu cain@fsu.bitnet scri::cain
