- This is not to defend WP, but they still support the NeXT. They have decided
- to upgrade their current version to 6.0 .
-
- It would be nice to have TeX, a graphical interface to it and a text based
- WYSIWYG mathematical word processor for the GS ( like EXP for the PC) with
- a TeX translator. I guess it is really not WYSIWYG as that is often taken to
- mean graphical, but EXP is very fast and rather good at creating
- mathematical documents.
-
- WP, Word, etc...are really not up to technical typing in my opinion.
