I have no idea how to do it. Oh, that is easy. :-) ftp to princeton.edu and get various Tim van Zandt packages like PStricks, Seminar or texpath. For a snaky curve texpath is it. This package is still under development so if you miss something bug tvz and you will likely have it pretty soon. :-) This stuff mixes TeX and PostScript and works very well on NeXT. >(Trying to use straight TeX without macropackages >is like trying to drive a sportscar which you yourself have to tune up.) If you do not know what you are doing getting into a ditch is equally trivial. Michal Jaegermann ntomczak@vega.math.ualberta.ca
