I need some advice on graphics programs. My environment is Xenix 386 2.3 running on a 386 AT clone, most of the time as the only user, so that I can usually shutdown and boot DOS (I don't have VP/ix). I have a LaserJet II running the Elan troff package which allows the inclusion of graphics files from MacPaint, PC Paintbrush, TIFF, and raw format. My problem is I have no way to produce those files on this system, and I don't have a big budget. I want to add simple graphics to the documents I produce, and I dont't need (nor can I afford) fancy WYSIWIG systems. I have only a Hercules compatible graphics adapter (which Xenix doesn't recognize anyway). SO I am appealing for recommendations from the net on fairly cheap, MS-DOS drawing programs for producing files which I can copy to Xenix (it has `doscp') and include in my troff documents. I would likely have to include the purchase of a mouse also, so recommendations are in order there too. Thanks -- Louis Schmittroth, Computer Science, Athabasca University auvax!louis
