Expressive power is similar; the eqn version )of the above is (assuming I've read the TeX correctly): I think it's going to take a little closer look at "some environments." I think it's probably far and away easier to find TeX to run on non-unix machines, including PC, Mac, Amiga, ST, and so on. Also, I'd expect it to be available on most unix machines which: 1) are associated with technical departments 2) hooked up to a laser printer or equiv. I suggest we determine which is more common in the *subscribers* environments, and that this means more than whether there are backslashes in there. I expect that people might frequently print the equations out, esp. from the more useful postings. jimm -- Jim Mackraz, I and I Computing "... the signs are very ominous, {cbmvax,well,oliveb}!amiga!jimm and a chill wind blows." - Justice Blackmun Opinions are my own.
