Re:
Description:
if you use eqn-formatted text in a pic picture, the components
don't line up right.
Cause:
pic recovers from its line feeds with a .sp -1. eqn sometimes
uses \x to reserve extra white space below the line.
Cure:
tell pic to say .sp -1-\n(.a instead of .sp -1.
---------------------------------------
There is a better cure given on page 16 of the pic manual.
Use #space 0 {x over y}# instead of #x over y#.
