I recently posted an article to this newsgroup asking what pic was and where I could find it. Thank you all for your answers; and for those of you who asked me to post what I found out: Pic is a utility that converts your description of a drawing into troff line drawing commands; so essentially you can use pic as a pre-troff filter to add drawings to your text. Pic is a part of AT&T's Documentors Workbench Software; one poster suggested that I should be able to purchase it from SoftQuad of Canada. There is, apparently, a "pic-ish" program written in c++ that comes with groff, that can be uucp'ed from uunet and similar sites. I haven't looked into either of these alternatives...
