To MacEqn users (and potential users):

On Monday, Nov.10, Software for Recognition Technologies will be releasing
version 2.0 of MacEqn, the Macintosh Equation Processor.  (Assuming no major
bugs show up in testing before then.)  All currently registered owners will
receive a letter of notification.  All site license owners will receive the
new version within 2 weeks of release.

MacEqn is a desk accessory that allows you to create reasonably complicated
equations for pasting into technical documents.  Version 2.0 adds support
for auto-centering of the equation and a special tab to define an equation
number position.  Also, all Group characters are now drawn with graphics 
rather than using upscaled characters.  Braces and parenthesis look pretty
good on the LaserWriter.  Also, the way the keyboard reads keystrokes has
been changed in an effort to correct problems with Dvorak and international
keyboards.  Also, you can copy a section of an equation to the clipboard
rather than the entire equation if desired.  Pasting into MacEqn occurs at
the insertion point.  TEXT can be imported.

Editing is still limited.  You can correct typographical errors, but editing is
not adequate for transforming one equation into another one.

Due to the time and effort involved with update requests, SRT has been forced
to change their update policy.  To receive an update to version 2.0, send your
master disk to them with an update fee of $12.00.

For further information, contact SRT at:

Enjoy!
