I just finished typing by dissertation (theoretical chemistry) using
CHIWRITER (tm) and am very happy with it.  It is a WYSIWYG editor with
the ability to have user defined fonts.  The most current info I have is:

        Horstmann Software Design Corporation
        140 East San Carlos Street, Suite 200
        P.O. Box 5039, San Jose, CA 95150
        (408) 298-0820

The price is about $90 which includes CGA and 9 pin printer support.  EGA,
Hercules, and ATT6300 support disks are $19.95, HP laserjet (excellent) or
24 pin printer support disks are $49.95, and a Wordperfect -> ChiWriter
converter is $49.95.  I have seen PD fonts floating around in addition to
the 14 "standard" fonts (small, bold, italic, greek, math 1&2, linedraw, etc.).
Hope this helps.
