And a damn sight easier to use!! I love the quality of TEX/LATEX documents; however, FrameMaker has beaten out LaTEX and MS Word/MathType for me because of the ease of equation entry and the posibilities for symbolic manipulation/equation rearranging. For longish technical treatises, IMHO this is the best way to go. Mark. -- Mark Kotanchek Guidance & Control Dept - 363 ASB Applied Research Lab/Penn State P.O. Box 30 State College, PA 16804
