(And after you read my dubious suggestion, you may wonder why I went to the trouble.;) Just idly thinking that HTML is about as OS-independent a language as there is, and there are some not-bad TeX-to-HTML converters (at least one I know of particularly for equation-heavy material). So your office buddies can view your papers in their browsers of choice, or - MWAHAHAHA! - use MS Word's "ability" to render HTML. (I don't know if PowerPoint is supposed to be able to do something similar.) Jud To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
