_Q1_:
I've asked before, and i'll try just once more,

Can anyone point me in the direction of a simple picture editor (boxes,text,
shaded boxes,circles..) for LaTeX, or emTeX in particular ?

I've tried the TeXcad package that comes with emTeX, and it's output is quite
unpredictable.

Are there any separate upgrades of TeXcad available ?

_Q2_:
Is the timer interrupt, INT 8 disableable/enableable (sp?)
'cos if i write an ISR to make use of it, it never gets *called*

Under the Turbo Debugger with single stepping or breakpoints set, my ISR is
called, I can only assume the TD simulates the timer interrupt.


thanks for listening,
		robert.
