However, I have to do some graphics for a (different) paper before the
Monday deadline, so I won't be able to catch up with the list until the
paper is 'figured' out.....

Nor have I - although Corel 4 or thereabouts wasn't too bad.
If anyone know of a good one (esp. OSS), please shout!

I have fould a number of possibilities here, but I think I will use my new
Linux box and use Latex with Xemacs integration.
Vim 6.1 also offers useful Latex support (Unfortunately, Emacs meta-key

tend to aggravate wrist and hand problems, so I avoid using it).

I have'nt used a hand coded tag based markup language directly since GPL in
the 1970's! Now I have to deal with Latex and XML :-)
and HTML and CSS ...... although HTML-Kit makes it easier, I still find
hand-coding is
generally faster.
