Latex Powerset sign

[unkown]

Hi,

I've got a problem with Latex. How do you get the powerset sign?
In the Z/EVES User's guide there is a mentioning of \power, but
it doesn't work properly with Latex.

Does anyone know a answer to my problem? I appreciate your reaction
on this matter.

I don't know, which powerset notation you use, so I present the two
I've seen most.

$\mathcal{P}(S)$

$2^S$

The "rsfs" package gives you a "more caligraphic" font type, look at CTAN
for rsfs

fonts/rsfs/README
fonts/rsfs/rsfs10.mf
fonts/rsfs/rsfs5.mf
fonts/rsfs/rsfs7.mf
fonts/rsfs/script.mf
fonts/rsfs/scriptu.mf
fonts/rsfs/scrload.tex

You can see what I mean by "more caligraphic" in

Replace the word `calligraphic' in the following with `script'
and you will have it right :-).

Since CM has only calligraphic,
we have used that where script is more appropriate. But with
RSFS available both free on CTAN and commercial
(http://www.yandy.com/news.htm)
one can now use Script where mathematical tradition dictates.
