This program is not available yet but should be in about 1-2 months.
I saw a long demo of the current version at our local Amiga Club.
In a word: FANTASTIC!!!  It does everything I have ever seen done
by this type of program and does it better.  Unfortunately, I'm not
going to get it. It doesn't do mathematical typesetting.  ARGH!!!!
It does have fantastic output though, since it uses its own scaling
fonts. (Defined by curves, not pixels). Any further questions?
The guy that is writing it goes to my school.
