I've using Eqb for some things - it seems to work fine except for a few things: 1) When you push the fraction button, the cursor ends up on the bottom instead of the top - so you have to arrow key back to get to the numerator (or use the mouse). 2) If you push the fraction button next to an expression it will often put the expression into the numerator of the fraction. Ugh. All is well if you type the numerator and then a / though. 3) It would be nice to have double and triple integral signs with auto centered under-over-scripts. You can create your own of course, but its a bit of a pain to have to do this every time. 4) On multi-line gadgets, it would be nice to be able to come back and just *insert* extra (blank) lines by just hitting <return> after an already typed line. So when you type in 17 lines and find out you left out a line, you don't have to do some tedius cut and paste. If you can do this and I just didn't find it in the manual, let me know, ok? 5) Sometimes after you've pasted an equation into a doc, and then you want to put it back into Eqb, it says it can't find an equation when you try to paste. Seems to cure the problem when you save your doc. sometimes. I never save Eqb files because its so convenient just to paste em back in and modify if you want to. Works great for long papers and books! 6) Is there going to be a version 1.0 soon? 7) It's a very nice little help in writing. Now if it could just do generalized eigenfunction expansions for systems of P.D.E.'s - it would put me out of a job. ;-) -Bill -- Professor William V.
