I purchased Expressionist as soon as I saw the five mouse rating MacUser gave
it. I know MacUser has been criticised on the net for a lot of valid reasons,
but this tiem they were dead right. Expressionist is very easy to use, with
great editing capabilities. It has "rubber" parens, brackets, integral/sum
signs, etc. ("rubber" means that the entity grows at the same rate that the
enclosed expression does.) Cut Copy and Paste are all supported. Matrices
are supported. Any font may be used, though it is optimized to support
Symbol, Times, and Helvetica. Vector overbars are included.
Editing is done in a standard text manner. There are too many features to
describe adequately. It works. It is the equation builder I thought should
have been built. It can be run as a DA or a program and produces PICTs that
remember that they were built in expressionist when they are pasted back in.
It is ~$80 and is available from Alan Bonadio and Assiociates, 1579 Dolores St.,
San Francisco, CA 94110.

DISCLAIMER: I have nothing to do with Expressionist except as a satisfied
customer. I have nothing to do with MacUser, except as a reader. My views do
not necessarily reflect those of TRW, except that I have recommended
Expressionist strongly to everyone here :-)
