This is one reason why former Unix snobs like me are taking PCs very
seriously these days. Although the PC tools are not PD, they are much
cheaper than tools that run on Suns. 

For what you said you wanted, you might just go ahead and use a PC
schematic capture program, make a postscript output file, and transfer
that to your Unix system. Assuming you haven't figured out that PCs
have some very nice word processing software too. (like interleaf)
