Having discovered the TeX processing system for my research in mathematics, I end up appreciating one feature of TeX over all others: source code is ASCII 7 bits. If you know of a text editor with such advanced feature for scientific notation and such a permanent propriatary format, I would be happy to learn about it. However, I would always recommend someone to use the processing system adopted by one's coworkers and people one's has to interact with. Data conversion is never easy or completely faithful. And there is always a situation in which the local expert helps you to realize what you want. ____________________________________________________________________ Dr. Laurent GASSER | E-mail : lgasser@cscs.ch CSCS/SCSC, PES | WWW : Galleria 2, Via Cantonale | voice : ++41 91 610 82 02 CH-6928 Manno / TI (Switzerland) | fax : ++41 91 610 82 82 ____________________________________________________________________
