I think it should be noted that pic works independently of the
output device.  I recently used pic (with my bug fixes, etc.)
to make diagrams on an AppleWriter.  Anything that fully supports
troff should be usable with pic.  Note that some laser printers
(e.g., first model of H-P LJ) have very limited font sets.
