WOW!!!
I do some scientific research in area of heat transfer now and I really
lack something like that. All my friends from mechanical engineering
department would highly appreciate that feature. I ofter hear "why I
can't do evaluations in MS equation working in word?". So IHMO kengineer
is the required addition for koffice.

Our majority in the university doesn't like much msword + msequation,
and doesn't like at all oowriter + oomath,
so a working kword + kengineer would be the right thing.

If I only had some time :(
