You can use LaTeX for that. There are different packages depending on
what kind of slides you want to make. (here some I know of: prosper,
beamer, seminar, slides, etc.) Some of them take advantage of the
powerful presentation features of Adobe PDF (about which I think many of
us 'Windows also' people don't know at all).

HTH,
Greg

Dear Greg,

Thanks for the reply. What I really want is something to make presentation
slides in seminar, something like Lyx, which is the drive for me to install
cygwin-:)

Any ideas?

Best regards,
Michael Chen

PLEASE, configure your email client not to show email addresses in 
reply!!! (or if you can't take this off list)

I work with xemacs (under cygwin) and yap (I can give you nice pointers 
on how to configure them so that you can get real WYSIWYG). I don't like 
Lyx, LaTeX is so nice and intuitive that IMHO you don't need something 
like that to stand in the way (I don't think LyX would even work with 
slides but maybe latest versions are different from what I know LyX to be).

Look, I try to set up a group for help, discussion, etc. about (La)Tex 
under cygwin and Windows. If you join in you will automatically get all 
those pointers on how to set this up. The group is found at 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wintex/ (you need to  have or create a 
Yahoo account to join)

IMO no commercial package can come even nearer to what you can get with 
cygwin and miktex and all the other packages I mention in the document 
you can get when you join.

Hi,

I think it's pretty unreasonable to rely on every individual posting to 
this list to obfuscate email addresses in their submissions. It's 
inherently error prone, will never be done anywhere near thoroughly 
enough and properly is a responsibility of the list software.

IMO, of course.

Randall,

I agree with you. Maybe the master wants to take notice.

Yes, the mailing-list software could be changed to obfuscate
them. Is it so hard ?

Or, maybe, a moments reflection would lead us to surmise that this is
not a new subject and maybe it's already been discussed?
