its easy, you use `tpic', a preprocessor that takes pic input and
produces TeX \special output. problems
 a) your dvi processor needs to understand the \specials
 b) you have to have a DWB license to get tpic, as it uses proprietary
    code. 
if you want to get tpic, mail morgan@ics.uci.edu (Tim Morgan) who will
ask you for a xerox of your DWB license.
