I am the system manager for a group of scientists doing research into
high-energy physics.  We are currently updating our transparency
creation methods, mainly by purchasing a color PostScript printer.  In
the past drawing packages like Adobe Illustrator and Microsoft Word
have been used to create transparencies, but now we would like to look
into a presentation software package made for making the task easier.

The transparencies will mainly be used for scientific talks and
lectures.  The following list of requirements should be met:

	(a) Ease of use (the main requirement!).

	(b) Able to handle mathematical equations, possibly by
	    incorporating images from a package like Microsoft Word's
	    Equation Writer.

	(c) Able to produce plots, especially those geared towards
	    science (rather than business).

	(d) Able to incorporate EPS images and those produced by the
	    AppleScan software.

Which presentation software package do you recommend, and why?  I am
very interested in the strengths and weaknesses of each.  Do you know
of any good comparisons of presentation software packages?

Please respond to me at my email address (lishka@dxcern.cern.ch).  If
there is interest, I will post a summary to this newsgroup.  Thanks!
