  No, LaTex doesn't produce ASCII-craft (preformartted text)...
      
  It's not so easy to post some examples... I have lost most  of
  my archieves... Though I 'll try:

Example of text wrapping:

  To allow for maintenance  of  long  docments  graphics  should
  anchored to paragraphs or sections...

Will it change something? If a unit (F) sees two units, one (B) behind
the other (A), it can't shoot at B unless it [F] is a missile launcher
or a heavy infantrymen (at least, that is so in Dune-2) And what should
F do if the player gives it the order to attack B (as you wrote, the
player can see B)? I think, the player can see only such units which are
seen by any of his units or radar stations. If the hidden unit B is not
seen by any of the player's units the player shouldn't see B too. And if
F can't see B, but say G has spotted B, then the player can see B. And
if he orders F to attack B, F should approach the indicated location and
find B and attack it.

-+---+---+---+     -+---+---+---+---+   I wonder how do you plan to

-+---+---+---\     -+---+---+---+---\   behind A for the given unit F.
 |   | B |    )     |   | B |   |    )  In the first picture all the
-+---+---+---/     -+---+---+---+---/   three units are arranged along a

-+---+---+---\     -+---+---+---+---\   hidden.
 |   |   |    )     |   |   |   |    )
-+---+---+---/     -+---+---+---+---/   But in the picture at right F
 |   |   |  (       |   |   |   |  (    has moved one cell to the right.
-+---+---+---\     -+---+---+---+---\   And what? Can it see B now?
 |   | F |    )     |   |   | F |    )
-+---+---+---/     -+---+---+---+---/   And will you take into account
 |   |   |  (       |   |   |   |  (    that a single light infatryman
-+---+---+---+     -+---+---+---+---+   can't hide a siege tank?

One of main distinctions of  my  visibility  system  from  the classical
one is the fact that in my system large non-camouflaged objects (a
harvester) will be seen from higher ditances than small and
well-camouflaged (lying light infantry) and another disticntion is
that it will take more time to spot the latters than the formers,
other conditions being equal.

  Example of a hierarchical numerated list:
  (Sorry for Russian text but I hope you get the idea)

  Such  lists  should  be  mainteined  automatically  (so   that
  inserting new element didn't screw the hole list) MS Word  for
  Windows is a good example of this...

3.  ???? ?  ??? ?? ???????, ?? ???????? ????????? ??????????
    ??????? (????????)  ??????? ????????? (????? ?? ????????
