TeX is not the only package which can typeset mathematics, nor is it the
only package which can print out long documents without stopping.
It is very simple in Calamus to set mathematical formulas, since you can
use the arrow keys to move individual characters around on the display
(when PKS Write comes out, you will find it even easier). Calamus can
also print out about 100 pages (or more, depending on the complexity
of the graphics) on an SLM804 in under half an hour. You can include
various combinations of text, alignment, attributes _and_ kerning in
Calamus macros, so mathematic formulas would take only seconds!
All said, it is still smarter to distribute in TeX because 1) TeX is
free and 2) TeX exists on different machines.
