 > -------------------- About BaKoMa TeX 8.50 ------------------
 >

 >  1) BaKoMa TeX Word - True WYSIWYG LaTeX Editor.
 >  2) Text Editor + DVI Viewer - Classical IDE.
 >  They are high compatible, so that you can choose what to use
 >  depend on kind of a document or stage of work under a document.
 > 
 > About BaKoMa TeX Word.
 > 
 > BaKoMa TeX Word is True WYSIWYG LaTeX Editor.
 > 
 >  The word `True' is used to highlight two following facts:
 > 
 >  1) It is True WYSIWYG Editor.
 >     It means that display shows precisely the same what will be printed.
 >     It looks such that you edit your document immediately in DVI Viewer.
 >  2) It is True LaTeX Editor.
 >     It edits LaTeX source text without any import/export procedure.
 >     It means that you can load and edit any LaTeX 2e document.
 > 
 >  BaKoMa TeX Word is built on top of BaKoMa TeX graphic engine and
 >  consequently it inherits all features of BaKoMa TeX related
 >  with import graphics, font support, and document export.
 > 
 >  It supports processors:
 >     (1) Standard TeX and (2) e-TeX.
 >     Other processors such as Omega may be added in future.
 > 
 >  It imports:
 >       EPS, PDF, JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, PCX,
 >       MSP, BMP, WMF, EMF, FIG, HPGL, and DXY.
 >  It supports fonts:
 >       OpenType (OTF/TTF), TrueType, PostScript Type1 (including MM),
 >       PostScript Type 3, and TeX PK/VF.
 >  It exports:
 >       DVI, PDF, SVG, PS, PNG (with HTML wrapper), and HTML (TeX4HT).
 > 
 >  It includes built-in PostScript interpreter accessible via DVIPS
 >  compatible special interface that supports such macro packages as:
 >     PSTricks, PSFrag, graphics (psfig), draftcopy,
 >     PowerDot, Prosper, Beamer, etc.
 > 
 >  Most important application of BaKoMa TeX Word is
 >     final step corrections of LaTeX papers before publishing.
 > 
 >  Editing slides in WYSIWYG interface
 >     (with such packages as PowerDot, Prosper, Beamer, etc.)
 >     is another impressive feature of `BaKoMa TeX Word'.
 > 
 >  TeXWord dramatically simplifies editing complex formulas and tables.
 > 
 >  TeXWord is transparent for cooperation.
 >     TeXWord don't use additional macro packages.
 >     It uses only standard LaTeX packages, so that documents made up
 >     in TeXWord may be compiled in any LaTeX setup without any adaptation.
 >     In other side, TeXWord can handle arbitrary LaTeX documents.
 >     So, that your coleagues may even don't know that you use
 >     powerful WYSIWYG tool to edit your part of common work.
 > 
 >  Beginner users of LaTeX may consider TeXWord as
 >     good start point for learning LaTeX together with writing papers.
