first thanks to those who responded to my request for the dropped capitals macro. now to another request: does anyone know of a set of plotting macros for use in TeX along the lines of grap from as in Documenter's Workbench? thanks in advance vince apollo@ecf.toronto.edu

PiCTeX and gnutex both do plotting, though neither in as clear or easy way as grap in my view. PiCTeX is good, but slow and memory-hungry. Both bits of software are available on the Unix TeX tape, and probably via your favourite `loadsa TeX goodies' FTP site. If you have a DWB license, you can get a copy of `tpic', which takes pic (ie grap output) and converts it to TeX macros; the use of a dvi driver which understands the tpic \specials is assumed. There was a paper at last years French TeX meeting about an implementation of pic in TeX - maybe someone reading this heard it? -- Sebastian Rahtz S.Rahtz@uk.ac.soton.ecs (JANET) Computer Science S.Rahtz@ecs.soton.ac.uk (Bitnet) Southampton S09 5NH, UK S.Rahtz@sot-ecs.uucp (uucp)
