Yeah, I was hot happy when they functionally stabilized DCF and BM. I'm 
currently  using LaTeX both for technical writing and for designing my own 
T-shirts. I don't care for the syntax,  but there are packages for the sorts of 
things I want to do. Now if I could just find MiKTeX install files old enough 
to run on m$ vista  -(:

I used to curse word pervert until I was forced to use m$ office. 
(Free|Libre)Office is a step up, but I still want DCF, BookMaster/PC and 
BookManager Build/PC, preferably on a Linux platform.

​I really dislike "Word Processors" like MS Word, or even LibreOffice.
Personally, I prefer an explicit "markup language" such as LaTex (using
TexStudio) or Docbook or Texinfo. I really liked IBM's Document Composition
Facility, back in the day.​

I have a theory that it's impossible to prove anything, but I can't prove
it.
