Digital Tool Works (EquationBuilder) Announces Support for NS/FIP
BOSTON, Mass., April 30, 1993 - Digital Tool Works reaffirms its support for
NEXTSTEP by announcing that EquationBuilder, the technical equation editor for
NEXTSTEP, will ship for systems running NEXTSTEP for Intel Processors (NS/FIP)
shortly after NS/FIP ships in quantity this May.
"NEXTSTEP is in our view not only the premier development environment, but
also the finest user environment available anywhere," said Ray Ghanbari of
Digital Tool Works. "We of course will continue to develop and support
EquationBuilder on all platforms supported by NEXTSTEP."
Using a distributed, object-oriented approach to typesetting, EquationBuilder
expressions are dynamically recomposed each time the expression is edited,
assuring typographic consistency and professional quality results. With
EquationBuilder, mathematical expressions are easily constructed from a
palette of common elements such as Fractions, Matrices, and Delimiters. Each
element is an object and can be inspected quickly, allowing you to change its
form in obvious and intuitive ways. EquationBuilder automatically follows
standard professional typesetting rules, although manual kerning of arbitrary
elements is also possible through inspectors.
EquationBuilder's intuitive graphical interface takes full advantage of
NEXTSTEP's object-oriented environment, offering true WYSIWYG typesetting.
Using Encapsulated PostScript as its native file format, EquationBuilder
expressions can easily be included in any page layout or word processing
application by simple drag-and-drop. In addition, EquationBuilder fully
supports NEXTSTEP, including support for Object Links, filter services, and
universal drag-and-drop.
EquationBuilder also features powerful and accurate translation to the TEX
typesetting language, giving TEX users a simple, intuitive equation
composition environment.
EquationBuilder is available through NeXTConnection and other authorized
resellers.
Digital Tool Works is a privately funded software start-up dedicated to the
development of productivity and authoring tools running under NEXTSTEP.
