Almost a year has passed since this survey was done (it is available
from info-mac). The consensus then was that there was no integrated
package but that you could use MacEqn to write equations and Word
3.0+Scholar's Aid to do everything else.

Are there any new developments on this front?. Is there finally an
integrated package?. Is the above combination the best one?, does it
work well?.

Please reply via e-mail and I will summarize to the net. Thanks!.
