Well, it has only been about a week since I released TransFig 2.1.5, but there
were some pretty major bugs so I have made version 2.1.6 available.

Here is the announcement:

TransFig 2.1.6 is available on export.lcs.mit.edu in /contrib/transfig.2.1.6.tar.Z.
Be sure to set binary mode when transferring.

>>> It is important for users of xfig 2.1.6 to get this latest version 
>>>    of TransFig.

TransFig is a set of tools for creating TeX documents with graphics
which are portable, in the sense that they can be printed in a wide
variety of environments.

The transfig directory contains the source for the transfig command
which generates a Makefile which translates Fig code to various graphics
description languages using the fig2dev program.  In previous releases,
this command was implemented as a shell script.

The fig2dev directory contains a general program for translating from
Fig code to other graphics desciption languages.  The dev subdirectory
contains a library of output drivers used by fig2dev.

Drivers currently exist for the following graphics langauges:
(E)EPIC macros, LaTeX picture environment, PIC, PiCTeX, PostScript, and TeXtyl.
Fig2dev can be configured with a subset of these drivers

I have taken over the maintenance of TransFig from Micah Beck so please send any
bug notices, fixes, contributions etc to me at bvsmith@lbl.gov.

Here are the CHANGES from 2.1.5:

o Courier-BoldItalic changed to Courier-BoldOblique for PostScript fonts
o "if" statement replaces copysign() call since some machines don't have it
o some backslashes ('\') corrected in printf statements in transfig/mkfile.c and
	fig2dev/iso2tex.c
o changed header for postscript files from "%!" to "%!PS-Adobe-2.0" when using
	-P (showpage) option and "%!PS-Adobe-2.0 EPSF" otherwise (Encapsulated)
o corrupt transfig/Imakefile and typo (SCRS instead of SRCS)
o some variables (cur_thickness and coord_system) were multiply defined in 
	various drivers in fig2dev/dev - made those static
