[comp.text] EPIC macros

jalbert@cs.ubc.ca (Francois Jalbert) (12/03/89)

I just FTP'd a copy of fig-fs 1.4 and transfig from svax.cs.cornell.edu and 
the documentation mentions the existence of EPIC and PiCTeX. I am already
familiar with PiCTeX, but I frequently run out of memory on my Sun while
using it. The situation is even worse on my AT compatible with PC-TeX.
I am curious about EPIC and whether or not it could be intermediate in
power between LaTeX's picture environment and PiCTeX. The transfig manual
mentions that EPIC is available from cayuga.cs.rochester.edu but I just
looked and found nothing. I also looked at about 5 or 6 other sites
usually well-supplied in TeX stuff and found nothing. Is EPIC still
available for FTP from anywhere? Thanks very much in advance for any
pointers. Francois

EPIC is in the LaTeX style archive, now maintained on sun.soe.clarkson.edu
in ~ftp/pub/latex-style.
