Hi

I need urgent help in redefining a latex format.
I need to use square brackets to enclose eqn no. instead
of ( ).
Can it be done in an easy manner, i.e., without having to
modify latex.tex or using tex?
i can solve the problem for single line displays by
using the tex command $$ .... \leqno[...]$$ but
$$\leqalignno{... $$ wasn't recognized by latex.

thanks,
lok.
