[Blindmath] The Nemetex Back-translator

[Sarah Jevnikar]

I've used nemetex for two years and they've made many improvements along the
way. I couldn't recommend this program enough. I used it through my
multivariable calculus courses, though it doesn't support every symbol but
most. And they're really friendly; if you have a symbol you think they
should include, they're very responsive to it. Your Nemeth must be 100%
accurate though for accurate translation, but they will help you at every
step if you need it. It's also good to split large files into smaller pieces
in order to isolate potential translation problems.
I hope you find it as useful as I have.

Does anyone here have experience with the NEMETEX software which can be
found at

http://www.accessisoft.com/nemetex.htm

I would be interested in how well it works and what its limitations are.
The web site indicates that it works through pre-
calculus which gives me some sense that it probably isn't ready for calculus
yet, and I would also guess that it has to 
have accurate Nemeth code as input, not the sloppy Nemeth I used to write
when I was the only one who was going to 
read it.  <smile>  Thanks for any thoughts.  In case the author happens to
be on this list, my purpose is just to 
understand 
its realistic uses and not to be critical.  This looks like a worthy
undertaking.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
