Yes, that's a good idea.  Lletters was from a link on seul-edu.. KDE
and it's KDM is in the normal KDE-distribution, in kdebase i suppose
(www.kde.org). KLyX is http://www.devel.lyx.org/~ettrich/klyx.html
(the similar LyX is http://www.lyx.org/).  

I'll put these in the text.

I will put the text on
'http://hem.fyristorg.com/edufs/texts/r_w_learning.lyx' and '.tex'.

Class Library for Numbers, a good c++-library for a lot of
mathematical functions, different number sets, infinitely high
precision etc.  I use it to get simple rational number handling with
a type-safe c++ environment.

I think expmath and Dr Geo have somewhat the same aim, but two
different ways of teaching.  They will probably work perfectly side
by side for a student. (only I've got some months left to a usable
version...)
