[This is posted for a friend who does not have net access] Are there any good word processors out there that will generate mathematic symbols, greek letters, etc on the screen of a PC or AT (CGA or EGA) which will also generate postscript output? It need not be public domain/shareware. I have looked at chiwrite which is a public domain word processor that does exactly the kind of thing I want except that it does not support postscript [ The only laser printer support seems to be for a HP laserjet]. Also..... [1] Are there any math / greek fonts around for use with "write" which is part of MS windows? Are there copyrighted or PD? Where can I get them from? [2] Are there any programs around that could generate postscript from an output file generated for an HP Laserjet? Many thanks, netlanders.... Arup Mukherjee [arup@grasp.cis.upenn.edu]

Two programs that have been recommended to me for doing math
formulas are:
1. Microsoft Word - for simple formulas
2. Exact (Technical Support Soft., Bx 289, Chestnut Hill, MA 02167)
which will process imbedded codes in your text files

For WYSIWYG technical word processing, including Postscript output
capability, T3 from TCI Software Reseach in Las Cruces NM is
the best that I have found after looking for over 6 months last year.

If you already have one, that's fine. If not, $475 is a high price to pay for no word processor. There is also Manuscript, Chiwriter, and T3 (T-cubed). Anyone else have additions or corrections??

In "Notices of the American Mathematics Society" (spelling may be off a bit,
I don't have it in front of me) Jan. 1987, Feb. 1987, and April 1987 you will
find a great 3 part review of technical word processors for IBM PCs. I
highly recommend it. It contains thourough reviews of oodles and oodles of
TWPs.

More on Spellbinder by Lexisoft: A recent issue of "Computers in Science" praised Spellbinder's ability to deal with mathematical symbols and equations. It also reviewed several other wordprocessors that claimed to support technical text.
