A hearty second for this recommendation. I still (some 6 years later) consider this to be some of the best 30 bucks I ever spent. This small investment forever freed me from the need to use those awful word processors. I suppose they've made some significant progress in the past few years, but I also suppose that the support for equation formatting is still terrible. Anyway, I also recommend picking up this book if you plan on doing anything significant in LaTeX. -- Steve Juranich Tucson, AZ USA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
