Show Steps. Show me how to automatically number
equations in Word 1.0 for Windows. And how to cross reference it in the text automatically. No hacky workarounds like stuffing it in an invisible table and referencing that please.

Distros are unable to continue to maintain the modern software like Chrome[ium], starting to drop it, why?
Even Cuneiform, a toy-like OCR program bundled with Lexmark hardware, has better UI and functionality than any tesseract frontend... again, why?

Apple took KHTML the rendering engine designed for KDE's Konqueror web browser and forked it to create Webkit the rendering engine they still use for Safari to this day. Google also forked Webkit to create Blink, the rendering engine used in Google Chrome and Electron apps. All of them owe their start to a piece of software originally designed for Linux.
And if a program is being actively maintained with a new name it's not abandonware, nor are programs abandoned when made open source.
