I need advice on softare that can do mathematical word processing
and / or typesetting.  It would help a lot if it's reasonably
friendly, which mostly rules out TeX.  Also, if it's something
that can drive typesetting equipment that's a major plus.

I'm familiar with Word 3.0 on the Macintosh--that's the kind of
capability I need--but our machines are IBM AT compatibles.

If such software exists, what hardware does it need?

I would be grateful for Email, since I can't keep up with the
traffic on this net and need to make a decision soon.

Thanks for your wisdom.
