Dear Richard,
thanks for your suggestions about Lyx. I am starting to use and appreciate it.

Guys (and gals,)
I don't know what your problem is.
Tar DOES NOT CARE in any way whether it extracts from FOOBAR.MY.FANCY.EXTENSION
or GUIL001.GZ or GUIL001.TAR.GZ or guil001.gz or whatever.
Just invoke it as
tar xvfz
and it will extract the "Runme" script and the other installation files.

Thanks for the info. I think for someone like me in Australia it
might be cheaper to order the personal CDROM.

have you tried a fairly recent lyx? It is very stable (there's only
one or two ways known to crash it), and the equations are very easy. I
bought a mac 128 in '84, and several more until I saw lyx's equations.
It also has a patch for mail-merge, which I wrote after realizing that
