RGB-TechWriter version 2.12 (TechWriter, for short) is a personal
computer word processor specifically designed to make technical typing
involving complex symbolic expressions fast, easy, and accurate.
RGB-TechWriter works best with 80-column (RGB-type) color displays.
How does RGB-TechWriter handle equations better?
Equations involve characters with special attributes. Some characters
need to be superscripted, some subscripted, and some represent Greek or
other special symbols not found on the typewriter keyboard.
RGB-TechWriter handles this problem by using the color of the character
as it appears on the screen to convey the additional information. This
insures that an exact correspondence is maintained between columns on
the screen and on the printed page. This makes it easy to, for example,
line up the numerator and denominator of a complicated expression.
Other word processors require that this information be provided in the
form of additional control characters which are inserted into the text.
These control characters take up space on the screen but not on the
page, making alignment nearly impossible. Some other word processors
use graphics mode to paint the special characters on the screen as they
will appear on the page. This is a nice feature, but very slow. By
using color instead, RGB-TechWriter makes editing much faster.
The possibilities of RGB-TechWriter might best be described by copying
