I need to decide whether to use "pictex" and other associated macros to
make drawings like boxes, grids, binary trees etc. I am in the process
of getting the mannual. My main concern is how good it is and it is worth
the trouble learning it.

Compared to what? My other alternatives would be packages like DrawPerfect,
etc. I do not have an easy access to Mac or Sun(for FrameMaker).

Please send comments and queries by Jan-15 to: mtd@acsu.buffalo.edu

If there are more than 5 queries then I'll post a summary.

Any and all comments are welcome.

Thanks in advance.
