We also have a site license for t-cubed, and we are not pleased with
it.  Our faculty find that it is not worth the hassle to use it.  The
people who want math support are going to TeX (and I use troff), and
the folks who do not need math support use WordStar (gag) or
WordPerfect.  We only have 3 t-cubed users on staff and one of those
people is a secretary.   Our people say it is no more difficult
to get up to speed in TeX than it is in t-cubed.  Obviously, your
mileage may vary. . .
