It doesn't support 'floor' or 'ceiling' which 'eqn' builds using parts of brackets. This is the only way I've heard of for running 'eqn' on a Linotron. We have a copy of their software and it works pretty well. We're missing some of the usual math characters, in particular "not equal" (which we can fabricate out of / and =) and "not" (which we're simulating with a tilde for now). Rick.
