Hi,
   We have a major problem with MacEqn -- it doesn't work on a Mac SE.
What happens is that you use it for a while with MacWrite and then, without
warning it causes an ID=02, crashing the Mac and corrupting the MacWrite
file.

We've tried ringing Software for Recognition Technologies, but all we get is
an answer phone. That's not helpful, especially when you're on the other side
of the world.

This is a fairly serious problem -- the Maths Department has recently upgraded
to Hard Disk SEs and are somewhat miffed that they can't do WP on them. 

Can anyone on the net help? What we need to know is:

	1) What is the status of MacEqn ? 
	2) Are Software for Recognition Technologies still in business?
	3) Is this a known problem?
	4) Is there a fix ?	
	5) What alternatives do we have ? (they must be desk accessories). 

Any help would be appreciated.
