[net.micro.mac] mathematical text entry

I couldn't help but notice the several requests for programs to aid in the
entry of mathematical formalas.  Is there any one person or company currently
writing a graphical entry system for the Mac?  If so I would also love to
hear about it.  I'm very interested in actually writing the code myself for
such a system for the Mac specifically.  We (here at Berkeley) sort of gave
up last summer when we were trying to write a version for the sun workstation
in conjunction with MAXSYMA.  But I've always wanted to write one for the 
mac.  A moused-based editor like TextEdit except for math graphics would be
extremely hot to say the least.  I wouldn't mind sharing some ideas on the
subject or even team up this summer to begin such a project with someone.
Please send e-mail if interested or if you have any ideas.  Thanks!
