Last years I found that I could create something close with OO "Math", but it required typing by keyboard. D and Drop: nope. There are new Firefox apps that look hopeful. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
