Peter, I would have sent a reply to Joanne but I know that it would not
get delivered, we just don't seem to be able to send to BITNET or
Internet sites at all.  Hopefullt, a response on the net and mail to
you will get through.

Peter, we here at Athabasca University have decided to go with Lotus
Manuscript.  It permits every equation that I have ever tried to
compose - some rather esoteric ones just for fun.  It is a full
featured word processor, speller, thesaurus, page formatter, etc. etc.

It is not a Ventura Publisher but pretty close with the addition of
many excellent features.  If anyone wants more please let me know.  We
have been using it for almost three years now and we are now using
version 2.0 - don't get an earlioer one as it lacks some of the superb
features of 2.0

Lotus Manuscript is the BEST Scientific and Mathematical word processor
on the market and it includes all the regular word processor features.

Do our employers have opinions or is that what we get paid for!
