Also, I found it to have more accurate positioning than some (older) version of dvi2ps. PicTeX may be a viable substitute for tpic if you have absolutely no way of getting tpic, but even with a large enough TeX its so slooooow (even on RISC workstations) that its useless for the usual edit-and- preview cycle. ---- Andreas Stolcke International Computer Science Institute stolcke@icsi.Berkeley.EDU 1957 Center St., Suite 600, Berkeley, CA 94704 (415) 642-4274 ext. 126
