Indeed they are. One of my daughters used Techwriter exclusivly throughout
her Maths degree and she achieved far better presentation and very
favourable comments for her work, than those using PC software; though I
realise that the newest versions of Word now have a proper equation editor.

As you are a newcomer, I cannot help but ask if you have checked out:

http://www.apdl.co.uk/pd.htm

and

http://www.apdl.co.uk/freeware.htm

I'm afraid I am unable to say how much of this will work on later machines
such as the RasberryPi because a lot will have have been written for the
26bit capable processors. I note, however, that DrawWorks MIllenium /is/
specified to work under RISC OS 5
