[OS X TeX] amsmath +/- lingmacros

[Roussanka Loukanova]

Alan, thanks a lot: I didn't know about linguex.sty, up to now. I have 
tried it and examples look very pretty, with cases and sub-cases, 
consequently enumerated and indented as the math align environment. They 
are very intuitive to use.

I'll try linguex.sty more extensively for combinations with other 
environments.
