Alex TeX for formulas? Don't have it and did not even know it existed, but sounds far less painful than Word or messing around with superscripts, baseline shifts etc. in Illustrator. > as no one else seems to be interested, > if you can wait till next week, > I will just hand you the formula on a sheet of paper > rather than type it in e-mail. > (I suppose your computer has no TeX installed. > TeX is a special soft for typing formulas, > used by mathematicians). Next week will be fine. Enjoying the two-variable statistics portion of Meesus, and should probably set up a spread sheet for linear regression and correlation (just for the heck of it and while I remember how), as well as a spreadsheet for great-circle sailing. Excel is not my native language, so should keep me plenty busy until you return ;-) If you happen to be staying somewhere with a TV and they are not boycotting USA programming, check out "Numbers" on Friday eve. Hero is a university applied-math professor who solves crimes with blackboards full of formulas for his FBI brother. I enjoy it, but the FBI brother is not a well written and/or played character IMHO, and it does not have doctor or lawyer character to bolster the ratings. Hence, slated for cancellation, so catch it soon.Bill
