EEPIC is a set of TeX macros for LaTeX. It includes several extensions to EPIC and LaTeX picture drawing environement and provides several new commands. Additions to version 1.0 include: o new commands to draw filled cirlces and ellipsis. o new command to set line thickness to any width. o several bugs in EEPICEMU.sty are fixed. The posting of EEPIC will be divided into 2 parts and they will be posted in comp.text. Since our news server does not like large postings, if anyone in Northern California see this posting but not the two EEPIC postings within the next couple of hours, please send me a message so that I can ask our usenet administrator to track down the problem immediately. Thanks. EEPIC 1.0 is also available for anonymous ftp from iris.ucdavis.edu [128.120.57.20]. A beta version of fig2epic is also available for anonymous ftp from iris.ucdavis.edu. It is used to convert Fig code to epic or eepic files. This version does not support the TFX code yet. Below is a summary about printer drivers/previewers that understand tpic specials. -------------------------------------- First, thanks to all who have responsed to my question. It seems to me that not many DVI drivers currently support tpic specials but a number of people are planning to support tpic specials in their new DVI drivers. Here is the summary. 1) "iptex" written by Chris Torek --- This is for imagen printer. It is included in the UNIX TeX distribution. It is also available for anonymous ftp from a.cs.uiuc.edu in the file iptex.tar 2) "texx" written by Dirk Grunwald --- DVI previewers for X11. It supports most of the tpic specials but not all. It is part of the iptex package. See 1) above. 3) "texsun" written by Dirk Grunwald --- DVI previewers for Sunview window system. It supports most of the tpic specials. It is also part of the iptex package. See 1) above. 4) "dvips" written by Tomas Rokicki and tpic special codes are added by Dorab Patel --- A DVI to Postscript translator. It is available for anonymous ftp from labrea.stanford.edu. 5) L. Michael Gray in the University of New Hamsphire said he has modified dln01 (for DEC LN01S), dvi2ps and xdvi (for X10.4) to handle tpic specials. He may be reached at lmg%unhcs@RELAY.CS.NET. 6) "dviis" previewers for Integrated Solutions. I think it is available on june.cs.washington.edu. 7) DVI previewers written by Randy Buckland for VMS vaxstations. The program is written in Ada. The executable is available for anonymous ftp from argon.rti.org [128.109.139.64]. 8) There are a number of DVI drivers in science.utah.edu but I don't know which one support tpic specials and who one don't. Some of the information here come at second hand. Correct me if any of these are wrong. If you know any DVI drivers that support tpic specials but they are not list here. Please send me a message so that I can keep this list up-to-date. Thanks. --Conrad

I do not realized this until EEPIC is posted. The best way, of course, is to upgrade LaTeX. If this is not possible, a quick and dirty way to print the document is to remove all "\begin{\alltt}", "\end{alltt}" and the text between them. In next version of EEPIC, I shall try not to use alltt environment. --Conrad
