When I read news, I typically do it on a VT100 type terminal (actually an emulation window). Although I print some news, most I just read via readnews and then move on. While it would be nice to include instructions on how to generate high quality equations, for general purpose reading it might be easier to just fudge it: n --- \ -1/n / a e + 6 --- i=5 is not that unreadable. I agree that the really complicated expressions can't be shown like this, but most equations we write could be. Using the gobbledygook of eqn, TEX or whatever, means that I have to save the file, edit and massage it, format it and print it to screen or paper. -- Terry Ingoldsby ctycal!ingoldsb@calgary.UUCP Land Information Systems or The City of Calgary ...{alberta,ubc-cs,utai}!calgary!ctycal!ingoldsb
