RE: Scientific Word Processors

Joe,

	The system that does all of that is LaTeX, which is a public
domain word processing and typesetting program that is available for
pretty much any platform....  It does a beautiful job of setting
mathematical symbols, it has its own internal "picture drawing"
environment, and it allows you to import graphics from other programs.

	The major drawback is that it is not WYSWG, and the learning
curve is fairly steep.
