The characters mentioned were the `floor' & `ceiling' chars. used by eqn, and the `not' char. used by gosh-knows-who. Well, since all these guys are made from line segments, horiz. & vert., you should be able to construct them using the electronic rule generation primitives of the 202. Brent Byer Textware Intl.
