Here is a simple :-) way to TeX approximately less than:
{\ \lower-1.2pt\vbox{\hbox{\rlap{$<$}\lower5pt\vbox{\hbox{$\sim$}}}}\ }
It works in both TeX and LaTeX.
BTW: If you have NeXT computer, you should get InstantTeX. Besides having
this symbol in the palette, it has very many other useful features.
You can get it from nova.cc.purdue.edu as
