A few questions for those of you who are using equation builder: 1. When you want to write lim f(x) = f(a), for example, can you put the x -> a *under* the "lim" ? 2. Does it allow you to place superscripts and subscripts (both) on any character? 3. How about built-up fractions containing things like integrals and derivatives and limits and summations and ... 4. Can you paste into WriteNow (the one distributed by NeXT before appsoft came along)? 5. Assuming cost is not a factor, how does it compare with something like "Create" for constructing technical documents, papers, texts, etc. 6. Will the "new" version of WriteNow allow for overstrike, so you can place superscripts and subscripts on the same character? 7. Can you copy one of your EquationBuilder creations from the document you pasted into, and then put if back into EquationBuilder to modify it? For a while now, I have been using the old Draw from the Demo folder to do things like make systems of pde's or built up fractions, summations, etc. Also to modify things like Mathematica plots (adding text, shrinking, etc.) and then just pasting into WriteNow. The main problem with this is that you must save all such items with Draw because once you paste them into the document, you have no way to modify it later (you can copy it from the doc all right, but when you paste back into Draw, you can't do anything with it). Users comments very welcome. -Bill -- Professor William V.
