Nice job. Very nice job.

Don't you need to have AT&T copyright in the files?

I probably need to build the PDF info stuff into my document. I have a 
somewhat different structure so I need to think a bit more about it. I
have the following Level 1 and 2 headings:

        .H 1 "Introduction"
        .H 1 "Encapsulating EQN Code"
        .H 2 "Displayed Mathematics"
        .H 2 "In-lined Mathematics"
        .H 1 "Names, Symbols and Letters"
        .H 2 "Special Words"
        .H 2 "Simple Symbols"
        .H 2 "Advanced Symbols"
        .H 2 "Miscellaneous Symbols and Names"
        .H 2 "The Greek Alphabet"
        .H 1 "Basic Use **"
        .H 1 "Progressive Examples"
        .H 2 "Adding Spaces to the Input"
        .H 2 "Adding Spaces to the Output"
        .H 2 "Clarity of Expression"
        .H 2 "?? Superscripts and Subscripts"
        .H 2 "?? Wrapping"
        .H 1 "?? Fractions **"
        .H 1 "?? Square Roots, etc"
        .H 1 "?? File Inclusion"
        .H 1 "?? Diacritical Marks"
        .H 1 "?? Definitions"
        .H 1 "?? Big Brackets, Braces, etc"
        .H 1 "?? Size and Font Changes"
        .H 1 "?? Quoted Text"
        .H 1 "?? Local Motions"
        .H 1 "?? Lining Up Equations"
        .H 1 "?? Linear Algebra"
        .H 1 "Partial Differential Equations"
        .H 1 "Operations Between Bounds"
        .H 1 "?? More Definitions"
        .H 1 "A Large Example - A"
        .H 1 "Past Experience"
        .H 1 "?? Troubleshooting"
        .H 1 "++ Words Known to Eqn!!"
        .H 1 "?? Use on a \s-1UNIX\s+1-like System"

        .HU "References"

        (Appendices)
        .H 1 "TROFF Special Character Names"
        .H 1 "Ted Harding's Slightly Complicated Example"
        .H 1 "Rewrite - Some Other \*(eQ Definitions"
        .H 1 "Some Differences Between Classical \*(eQ and GNU's \*(eQ"
        .H 1 "A Large Example - B"

Anything with a ?? in it need more thorough checking for copyright issues.

I am hoping that using Brian's and Lorinda's examples is not copyright 
violation. For continuity reasons, I wanted to retain their originals. I 
add more examples - some are Ted Harding's and some are totally new.

Is the equivalence of lpile and lcol a GNU thing or is it part of the 
original 'eqn' program too?

Thanks - Damian
