<P>Formula is a set of packages which allows you to create basic equations
using text or a drag-n-drop palette of symbols. The results are graphically
formatted equations, that can be used in Notes, Works, or any document
that allows graphic input.

NATURALSIZEFLAG="0">Formula works by taking text and parsing it to create
the formulated expression. For example, the sentence "integrate(a,b)
x^2 dx" is converted by Formula into the graphical expression.
Although Formula still does not provide hand-written recognition of symbols,
this text-entry method is quite flexible and powerful. It supports
integrals, summations, superscripts (for exponents), subscripts, and various
other symbols.
<P>In addition, Formula also offers a palette. The palette display
an example of all symbols which you can drag-n-drop onto the Formula view.
It is useful for rapid prototyping of equations, because it can generate
the basic pattern for the equation. Changing the equation to match
yours is simpler, because now all you have to do is change the parameters
for each component of the equation.

NATURALSIZEFLAG="0">Formula allows you to take the generated formula and
copy it to the Newton's Clipboard. Once it's on the Newton Clipboard,
you can place the Formula virtually anywhere - including other Notes or
Works documents.
<P>For the first time ever, you can actually include formatted equations
in documents for printing, faxing, email, and even beaming. Equations
will even correctly export as images through NCU to desktop word-processors.

<P>Formula is in a prototyping stage at the moment. While progress
has been made on the interface, and basic symbols, Formula is <B>not </B>a
complete product. Major parts of the package have not been written
- such as multi-level embedding of symbols (Formula supports only 2 levels).

does not have the capacity to provide more than basic customer support
