To continue on the theme of MS Windows bashing, I just today discovered another gotcha. There is no way, given the tools provided when you buy Windows, to write equations or Greek letters. The required symbols, which are present in the normal IBM character set, are deleted in Windows. There are no symbol fonts, like there are on the Mac. One could paste in graphics, but that will only work for one screen or printer - there is no way to distribute such files as documentation for a program. If IBM and Microsoft are serious about Windows and the OS/2 PM, they had better address these problems. Soon.
