A friend of mine who works at a local Amiga store posted a message on our
local BBS that no one has the answer to.  I was wondering if any of you
Amiga Gurus out there could help him with this one:

Message #1892 "Public"

From: Sean Riddle
A customer came into Amazing today looking for a program that will allow him
to enter mathematical formulas with complex symbols to export to a desktop
publisher.  Rather than just a symbol font for one of the DTPs, he would like
an Intuitioned program that will automatically enlarge symbols such as
integrals, parentheses, radicals to cover exactly the correct part of the
equation.  He has used TeX and PROFF, but would rather not have to use a
script language, and he needs it to be WYSIWYG.  I thought I had heard of
such a program available on the Amiga, but I couldn't find it in the Amazing
Product Guide, and our Commodore Rep didn't know of one.  He is interested in
buying an Amiga, but he is writing his dissertation, and if this kind of
program is not available, he'll probably buy a Mac.  If you have any info,
please let me know....  Sean  
 

Anyone know of any programs?  It looks like it might mean an Amiga sale to
a future PHD.  Gee, we need all the brain power we can get.  Email me any
info at the above address and I'll get the info to him ASAP.  Thanx.
