- You are absolutely correct. Final Copy does not support mathematical
- equations and should if it's to become a useful addition to the Amiga
- software library. A word processor with support for writing mathematics
- is desperately needed for the Amiga. There are multitudes of students
- who do not know TeX and do not have the time to learn TeX but need such
- a pgm. Are you listening FC? ProWrite? Whoever comes up with it first
- stands to make a bundle of moola!!!

- option of outputting formulae in postscript which could be included
- as a graphic by another program? I have seen someone's setup on a
- Mac where they have a separate program for equation editing then
- cut and paste into their WP program.
