- Hi, I am looking for the word processing software to write my masters thesis
- on my Amiga 3000. Since my paper is going to have many math equations, I need
- math symbol fonts such as integra, derivation, infinity, and root signs.
- For example, I need to write like these:
-
- |><| + |><|
- ---- -
- \ |
- / / /------------
- ---- | /
- n=0 - \ /
- - |><| \/
-
- I think my options are:
-
- 1. PageStream
- I called PageStream tech support, and they told me that writing these
- are difficult.
-
- 2. Amiga Tex
- I have never used Tex program. Writing more than 100 pages document in
- Tex is going to be hell.
-
- 3. Buy Mac emulator and Mac software
- I don't know if this works. I don't know if there are any Mac software
- for this kind of writing.
-
- 4. By using Post. I would probably use PostScript fonts.
- I don't know how.
-
- These are the options that I can think of right now. Please send me any
- suggestions or solution. I will be appreciated.
-
- p.s. The documents are need to be printed by either ink jet or laser jet printer
- I think I am going to buy HP 500.
