|Sorry, Nisus will not offer any support for scientific and mathematical
|typesetting in the first release. And frankly, probably not in
|the second or third either. Unless the powers on high at Paragon
|are convinced by a barrage of phone calls and letters that there
|is a large demand for technical features in a word processor,
|programmers will not be assigned to the task.
|
|> (1) multiple (adjustable?) levels of sub- and super-scripts.
|> (2) Intuitive CHARACTER overstrike capability
|
|Both good ideas, both also currently lacking in Nisus.
|
|> (3) a general wish would be macros and command-key assignment
|
|We hope to have QUED/M-style macros in the first release of Nisus.
|Command key assignments will definitely be included. Any item in
|any menu can be assigned a command key equivalent.
|
|Nisus is currently slated for an August release.
