I bought MathType some years ago and use it with everything on my computer.
Any program that can accept a graphics file can be used with MathType. I
believe that it also links to TeK, but I'm not a user of that system so i
don't knot for wure.

MathType is easy to use, has oodles of things you can do, including logic
symbols and arrays and you can create your own mathematical macros. I
highly recommend it, regardless of which WP you use. It comes in Mac OS and
also a Windoze version for the computationally challenged.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work in html yet, but I understand they're
working on that.
