Introduction
============

   Until now the wordprocessors available for the Amiga computers has
been missing a lot of the features, which wordprocessors for the PC
has. One of these is the ability to write complex mathematical
expressions, which is important if you are making a scientific paper,
report and such. So far the only choice has been to use LaTex, which
makes great output, but it takes time to learn, since it's actually a
whole programming language.  It is also easier (but not necessarily
faster) to use a WYSIWYG interface, especially if you are just doing a
few expressions.

   This is were my program comes in. It lets you design your
expressions in a (hopefully) easy to understand WYSIWYG manner, and
export it for insertion in your favourite wordprocessor like
FinalWriter, WordWorth or a DTP-program like PageSetter. I've only seen
one program, called Math Paint, which tried to do something similar,
but as its name says was a paint program not an real editor, and I
didn't like it.

   This is released as a public beta version. This means it doesn't have
all the functions the final release will have and probably it contains
numerous bugs. This is manual is by no means finished, but look at
 Future and  Register for more information on this and the betarelease.

   For a quick try read the  Installation part first please, and then
start it. Unknown functions is described by pressing help-key.

   Here is a list of some of EqEd's features:

   It's WYSIWYG. No need remember how a fraction or integral is done.

   It support  Multiple lines and  Multiple lines.

   Unlimited nesting of fractions, roots etc.

   Output in  LaTex,  PostScript and  IFF.

   Unlimited size of equations

   Userdefineable shortcut keys - see  Set Key

   Uses  MUI - some might thinks that's a fault, not a feature :-)
