hi;
for jaws;
you could try to see if the ELOQ;.SBL; file from freedom scientific
would read the equations;
you can download it from the freedom scientific website;
try this and see how it goes; if you need more info;
please contact me off list; and I will be more than happy to assist;
Regards;
Tolga;
