[comp.sys.amiga] "Equation Typesetting"

scott@ecn.purdue.edu (Scott Kell) (10/23/90)

I was wondering if there exists any Amiga program which allows you to 
conveniently edit equations (which contains integrals, summations, etc)
and paste them into a document.  Kind of like "Expressionist" on the Macs.
Any info on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

     Have you looked at AmigaTeX, from Radcal Eye Software?  A full
implementation of Dr. Knuth's TeX typesetting program.  It should be
able to do whatever you want with equations; after all, one of it's
design goals was the creation and manipulation of equations.  (I've
never seen "Expressionist", so if I've misunderstood your needs, my
apologies.  But I'll still recommend AmigaTeX for typesetting. :-) )
