Um, I just got finished with a report that I did with WFW and used WFW's
built-in equation handling facility.  Now, I don't know how it compares to
WordPerfect's, but it does do integrals, summations, matrices, radicals,
super/subscripting, and so forth.  What I like is the ability to split
the screen and have the "final" equation in one pane and the equation codes
in the other.  It's much easier to double-check a derivation if you can see
more than a single equation, too.

Oh, and there is (going to be?) a Windows version of Math Text, one of the
Macintosh dedicated equation editors.  Should list for $149 and be just
like the Mac version.
