Dear Richard,
I am using LaTeX as well, with XEmacs, for my works, but I was looking to
applications appealing for the other people in my department
in such a way to convince them to reject Windows and use Linux instead.
Some people fear to leave common office packages, such as WordPerfect,
and jump to LaTeX. So, for these guys StarOffice remains the best.
