Re: Does anyone else think Wolfram Research are unfair to Unixusers?

At many scientific meetings, I have asked the
Scientific Word (I think I have it right) why they do not
have their partially WYSIWYG version of TeX available for
Unix, and they claim it would not sell well enough for the
effort. I cannot believe this.


Scientific word is being re-written completely to run on windows/mac and
unix/linux.

I have called the company many times wondering when the next version will be
out, and that is what they tell me.

It seems they have been working on this re-write for years. I think they
will make a release by end of this year or next year based on some
conversations I had with the customer support.

I use Scientific word (actually scientific workplace) all the time, and I
think it is a great program, but the HTML export part could use some
improvement.
