Is there a good graphics program available (paint/draw type) for Unix systems
that will create pic compatible output (for use with troff documents)?
We have Frame Maker for our Suns, but I don't believe it will do this.
If someone knows different, let me know.
The preferred environment would be for a Sun under SunView. Next would
be under X. Other possible environments we could work with:
DEC & VAX stations
HP 9000 workstations
AT&T 5620 DMD terminals connected to BSD or SYSV systems
MAC or PC programs capable of uploading to Unix systems
The version of pic we have came with xroff from Image Network.
Thanks for any suggestions.

It runs only in X. xfig1.4.3 will run in SunView but doesn't have some of the features of version 2.0, such as different line widths and fonts. Both are available from expo.lcs.mit.edu in /contrib/xfig-2.0.pl5.tar.Z for version 2.0 or /contrib/xfig-1.4.3-pl5.tar.Z for version 1.4.3. Version 2.0 is also available from comp.sources.x. _____________________________________ Brian V.

"cip" in the DMD "text/graphics" host software package, also available as "xcip" for the MTG/DMD from the AT&T UNIX System ToolChest, does this. The "proof" (or "xproof") troff postprocessor for viewing on DMD/MTG is included, along with a large number of font bitmap files. >The preferred environment would be for a Sun under SunView.
