PowerMath 4.6

The PowerMath Mathematics Typesetting XTension

 

  • Current Implementation: PowerMath is currently implemented as a Quark XTension for the Macintosh Platform. The program is copy-protected by an electronic hardware key ("Dongle") which shares any ADB or USB port on the Macintosh computer.
    Note: A dongle which is programmed to access current releases of PowerMath will run both versions, 3.x and 4.x. See Ordering Info and Downloads.
    Networked versions are served by a single hardware key which enables the purchased number of licenses (2 or more) to run on any of the total number of computers on the network at any given time. See the manual for further details.
  • Conversion from 3.x to 4.1 and later is now automatic, although some editing of converted documents may be necessary for some work. See the newly revised manual (posted as of 7/6/98) for details. New work should be initiated in versions 4.x. PowerMath 4.x is a much more fully developed product, and all new program development work will be done for PowerMath4.x and later versions.
  • Functionality: PowerMath was written as a standalone program which can interact with other programs. It uses it's own text editor and typesetting program, and allows for an extremely powerful and flexible system data setup on a per document basis. These system data setups can be created by any knowledgeable user. They exist as files which can be passed to other users of the program. A freeware version of the program allows anyone to view and print documents which contain PowerMath equations.
    The equations themselves are keyboarded and subsequently edited in a fully interactive, WYSIWYG environment. Mathematical structures, character sizing, spacing and positioning, and pi character access from a user-definable set of pi fonts are fully automated for the keyboarder in the system data setups.
    Additionally, Ascii files containing normal text as well as coding for interactive PowerMath equations can be keyboarded on other platforms for importation to the Quark document. Any PowerMath equation can be exported back to the Ascii format.
