Hi,
     I want to use the following math symbol (very common!!): a ">" sign atop
a "<" sign.  When I used the \stackrel command, the symbol looks roughly
OK (I wd. like them closer actually), but it is not vertically centered.
That is, the ">" is at superscript height.  How can I move them closer and
vertically center them?


(You may have inferred that I am using LaTeX.)  Any macros? Should be easy
for the TeXnically inclined.

Thanks in advance,
