Dear Mr. Smith. Good old days when you had the first version of EXP (those good old DOS days) and I bought it in a math meeting and then I have upgraded to...

Prof. Behforooz, I feel your comments and complaints should have been sent to the Symbol Dynamics customer service e-mail address, but since you have posted...
Well, I would like to thank Simon for doing this update. For a while it seemed as though EXP development would stop, and it is good to see the program get a...
I agree with Bob. I am glad to see another big improvement in EXP. Unfortunately, EXP does not advertize well. We don't see EXP in math meetings or no ads in...

Regarding the new version of EXP, although it remains an OUTSTANDING non-bloatware that keeps getting better, I am personally quite disappointed to see that...

The save to PPT is not what you might think. It works nicely, but it is a set of graphic pages, not text. For WORD, the most effective I have seen is to save...
Most of us who occasionally do some if-then-else programming can not even imagine the immense amount of work needed to implement a few 'simple' changes in a...

All, I would like to thank Erik for his kind words of appreciation. I would also like to respond to a couple of issues raised by others: (1) Bill Davis is...
I agree with much of what Erik said. I have added a few comments below. ... The one man aspect (though having someone else work with him might be good) is...
Most journals accept LaTeX. With that in mind, EXP works just fine in most cases. I get annoyed that they bend over to the WORD users. In such cases, why not...
John, You will NOT perish if you don't publish! Immediately, at least. If your work is valuable and interesting for their readers (which I'm sure it is, ...

Since the WORD aspect is an issue for some, you might want to check out a conversion I did by saving to LaTeX and then opening in WORD with TEX2WORD. The Demo2...
Thank you Bill for taking the time to offer some SUBSTANTIAL help. Eric, thank you as well for some well placed comments and apposite points to consider. From...

Let's remember that Open Office, as MS Word, create graphics for all "math" stuff. EXP, by comparison, uses fonts. I see converting EXP to either Open Office...
Open Office and Word may insert equations objects as OBJECTS, but fonts remain ...fonts. They are NOT converted to bitmap graphics. You probably did not mean...

All, This attempt to compare what OpenOffice does with what EXP would have to do is misguided. The math formatting capabilities of EXP are greater than those ...
Simon, Since users report that Tex2Word converters work well, why don't you INCORPORATE such a conversion facility INTO EXP, possibly in collaboration with...

I did the TEX2WORD for John Paravantis. I had to find a Greek font to install first, to see the stuff in EXP 6, though I guess I could have used EXP 5.1 which...
As I wrote to Bill privately, one does not have to possess the Greek fonts to attempt the conversion. Greek fonts may look like gibberish on Windows...
Jim, You are permitted three installations of EXP 6.0 on three different computers. Also, there is a "courtesy feature" built into the installation system that...
I would appreciate any tips on transferring files from Tinn-R into EXP. The package R is now the most popular Stats package around and I find the editor,...
