I received some *.pic files with a bunch of *.tex files. They seem to be some type of ASCII drawing specification file. Can anyone clue me in to what utility is used to generate an output file from these sources. Also, what is psfig? thanks -- Glenn L.

The way I'd recommend using it in a LaTeX document is to use the TransFig package. PIC is translated into an intermediate form, from which many LaTeX-compatible formats can generated. TransFig is available via anonymous FTP from svax.cs.cornell.edu:~ftp/pub/ftp/transfig.tar.Z, or from the Clarkson archive server (sun.soe.clarkson.edu). >Also, what is psfig? PSFig is macro package for including PostScript figures in TeX documents. It leaves appropriate space in the TeX document, does scaling and positioning. Micah Beck beck@cs.cornell.edu Cornell CS Dept
