  Does anyone know if there is a converter from latex pictex to plain tex
pictex.
 
   I have tried to get a pictex (in tex) output from gnuplot 3.0. It doesn't 
want to do this. One can TRY to "set output fig" and then run

fig2dev -L pictex file.fig file.tex

but, this outputs in .. you guessed it, latex! I simply can't understand
why latex is the prefered output language. To me, tex is much simpler.
At least there could be a "tex" option along with latex.......

  Well, thanks in advance. I hope someone can help me out here.
