[comp.sources.wanted] PD version of pic

hashem@mars.jpl.nasa.gov (Basil Hashem) (12/13/89)

I'm looking for a public domain version of pic (table preprocessor) for
nroff.  Any help will be appreciated.

  Umm.... "Pic" is the *PICTURE* pre-processor for nroff and troff.  "Tbl"
is the *TABLE* pre-processor....  Not to pick a nit, but the paranthetical
phrase confuses the issue (which do you need - pic or tbl?).

   I really doubt that there is such as beast, but I could be easily wrong.

Ooops. Your right.  Basil messes up again!  I need 'pic' the PICTURE 
pre-processor for nroff and troff, not 'tbl'.  I received a document which 
needs to be pic'ed.  I'm running on a Sun.  Can anyone help?
