- Using the single brace with a vertical list works (sometimes). I'm
- not sure if FrameMaker has this problem on all machines, but on my Mac
- the left brace sometimes shows up correctly sized to match the
- vertical list of equations ... sometimes it doesn't. I find that the
- results change as I change the viewing resolution. Sometimes it shows
- up fine on screen but it doesn't print correctly. What I ended up
- doing, at the suggestion of Frame Tech support, was drawing a left
- brace using the drawing tools. How's that for kludge!
