Does anybody know Addison Wesley's e-mail >address? Addison Weseley changed their mind. LaTeX (I don't know about AMSTeX) will now be a separate product. When I ordered Textures about a year ago (it was called MacTex back then), they said that LaTeX would be bundled with it. Now it costs another $45. They did this AFTER I paid for Textures and they will NOT live up to their past agreements. This is absolutely the wrong way to treat people. Textures 1.0 should be out by the end of August (so I was told), but I would NOT be getting LaTeX. I am not satisfied with this. Paying another $45 for something that was promised to be included in a product of about $500 does not seem right. (I don't know their net address, but I wish I did). It's that ol' Upgrade Shuffle Game... Herb Barad [USC - Signal and Image Processing Institute] email: barad@brand.usc.edu or ...!sdcrdcf!oberon!brand!barad
