The PC community is supported by udiWWW. No support in the Apple or Acorn community as far as I know (Stewart???). And the reason that the latex writing community has been happy up to now is that there is an excellent converter, latex2html, which produces html 3 including maths which arena can read. Now it may be that extra symbols are required, but this is surely a fairly easy job. Personally I would be quite happy with latex2html and arena if there was a small amount of development work to add extra symbols, and an assurance that arena would be maintained. Dave Carter
