To continue on the theme of MS Windows bashing, I just today discovered
another gotcha. There is no way, given the tools provided when you
buy Windows, to write equations or Greek letters. The required symbols,
which are present in the normal IBM character set, are deleted in 
Windows. There are no symbol fonts, like there are on the Mac. One
could paste in graphics, but that will only work for one screen or
printer - there is no way to distribute such files as documentation
for a program. If IBM and Microsoft are serious about Windows and the 
OS/2 PM, they had better address these problems. Soon.
