Has anyone written a math editor which uses ASCII characters only? I use TeX for my own documents, of course, but we need something for use in e-mail and USENET articles, something which will let us type _ _ / +inf / / t \ | 2 | | 2 | | 1 -t /2 | | 1 -u /2 | | ------ t e | | ------ e du | dt | ____ | | ____ | | \/2 pi \ | \/2 pi / _/ -inf _/ -inf and the like. If no one else has done this, I'll consider doing it and distributing the source free of charge. (PLEASE do not flood my bulging mailbox with a million "me too"s!) By the way, mathematicians out there might be interested in evaluating that integral. The solution follows; if you don't want to peek yet, don't press another key. ____ It's 1/(\/2 pi). Rewrite it as a double integral, then change limits and integrate with respect to t first. --Scott -- Scott Horne ...!{harvard,cmcl2,decvax}!yale!horne horne@cs.Yale.edu SnailMail: Box 7196 Yale Station, New Haven, CT 06520 203 436-1817 Residence: Rm 1817 Silliman College, Yale Univ Uneasy lies the head that wears the _gao1 mao4zi_.
