I havent tried it recently Arbortext: I have never seen a copy IBM: have something, I know no more Antenna House: Windows application which uses Windows GDI. pretty good commercial implementation, but free evaluation summary: immature marketplace. > LaTeX is IMHO the old work horse, which works nicely, it works well within its limitations. its not hard to find a typesetting specification which is *hard* to do in LaTeX sebastian
