At our installation the only way we could get neqn to give the greek
(and other) symbols on a Diablo 630 was to use predefined strings,
e.g., instead of
.EQ
alpha = delta epsilon + .....
.EN
use
.ds Ga <control code which creates alpha>
.ds Gd <control code which creates delta>
.ds Ge <control code which creates epsilon>
...
.EQ
\*(Ga = \*(Gd \*(Ge + ...
.EN
which was ugly and annoying but could be made to work. There are no
doubt better ways of going about this.
