Leo is an MS-DOS front-end for TeX. For once in my life, I seem to be the first to know about something, so I'll have to quote from the literature I was sent. Leo is WYSIWYG and eliminates the necessity of memorizing TeX control codes (at least for equations). Equations may be entered from a menu or by using control key shortcuts. Leo makes no claim of to know all TeX commands, it simply leaves unknown commands alone in the TeX file. Leo supports 8 fonts and over 250 symbols. It can be extended by a font editor. Leo supports macros, abbreviations, and customized names for suymbols. The editor supports cut-and-paste equation movements. A draft printing program is provided, as is a manual. The writers claim that Leo is "fun to use."
