You should delete the copy of pictex.dvi which you have (and anybody else
who has one should delete it as well). That file was distributed by mistake.

The PiCTeX manual is available from the TeX Users Group for $35 (includes 
an IBM PC diskette with the macros). The money from the sales of the
manual is the _only_ renumeration Michael Wichura is getting from the
work he put into writing PiCTeX, and it really isn't nice to rip him off
by producing copies of copyrighted material without his consent (which
is what you would be doing by printing the pictex.dvi file).

The address for the TeX Users Group is:
P.O. Box 9506
Providence, RI 02940 (USA)

They can also be reached bia e-mail at tug@math.ams.com
