- I'm the SGI guy who can tell you about the Shape language. The new LatFunction module
- on the ftp site (LatFunction2) fixes a major bug in the shipped module. That is, the
- shipped module won't work if you launch it from the librarian. You have to launch it,
- then type the filename you want, then duplicate the module. The new one will work.
-
- Also, there are some bugs with how LatFunction parses its program. It sometimes
- declares an error when it shouldn't. You can usually get around this by reparsing,
- that is, typing <CR> in the Program File typein.
-
- However, LatFunction is not space dependent. "a+b" == "a + b" == "a+ b", etc.
-
- If you have other specific questions or suggestions, I'll try to address them.
