Hello,
now I know a bit more. 9 eqn seems to throw away my Greek letters for
some reason. Having a file with contents:
.EQ
aαb
.EN
i.e. a Greek letter between 'a' and 'b' in the math mode, produces,
9 eqn file
.EQ
.ds 11 "\f2a\^\^\^b\fP
.if 1m>\n(.v .ne 1m
.rn 11 10
\&\*(10
.EN
.lf 4
Can anybody comment?
Thanks again
Ruda
