That's something I should like to investigate. But the one time I tried
to find LaTex for Windows, the site said something like "not available
now. Try later." I have a mental block against DTP programs: they are
too relentlessly ordered toward picture thinking. But I need to get
vertical justification and page layout beyond what any one word
processor can do (even Xy). If our public library ever gets around to
offering broadband with CD-R capability (they've ben promising it "real
soon now" for almost a year), I shall try again. (We don't have
broadband at work either.)
