I am glad to hear this from another source. Did you that the push `science' channel of Internet Explorer is to be under the sole control of Elsevier? the xxx people may capture the hearts and minds of a few hundred physicists, but the Microsoft/Elsevier/SGML bandwagon is, I would argue, rather more wide-ranging. How big is xxx compared to Science Direct? Possibly getting off subject. But wouldnt we all like to see LaTeX rooted behind M'softs world domination? Sebastian
