TeX is so easy (and FAST) to specify an equation that using it would far outweigh the lack of interactivity. I find MacEqn tedious (and not particularly well formatted) for doing anything complex and minor changes turn into major hassles due to the lack of editing. If there is something better PLEASE tell us about it! David Gelphman daveg%slacvm.bitnet@forsythe.stanford.edu
