At our installation the only way we could get neqn to give the greek
(and other) symbols on a Diablo 630 was to use predefined strings,
e.g., instead of 

	.EQ
	alpha = delta epsilon + .....
	.EN

use

	.ds Ga <control code which creates alpha>
	.ds Gd <control code which creates delta>
	.ds Ge <control code which creates epsilon>
	...
	.EQ
	\*(Ga = \*(Gd \*(Ge + ...
	.EN

which was ugly and annoying but could be made to work.  There are no
doubt better ways of going about this.
