I have put the patches to update xpic (part of contrib/clients for the R3 distribution, it was erroneously labelled a PIC previewer; it is actually a figure drawing package, which uses the same fonts that xtroff uses to provide something approximating WYSIWYG) on expo.lcs.mit.edu (18.30.0.212) for anonymous ftp. (It should be on its way to the comp.sources.x moderator for those who don't have ftp) Get contrib/xpic.r3fix.sh.Z (binary mode). It's 42375 bytes long, and the checksum is 40944 42 Uncompress and unshar it. Read the file CHANGES, unpack newfiles.shar and run the script update.sh. The fixes - Get it working under R3 - Add tpic support. There's now a LaTeX document illustrating how to use xpic figures in LaTeX using both psfig/TeX and tpic. They depend on the HP widgets - libXw.a, for which I posted minor Makefile fixes. (the file Xhp.r3fix.sh.Z) Xpic still depends on the xtroff fonts (scaled vfonts) - one of these days, it'll start using the nice new fonts R3 comes with. So you need to do a make xfonts in the xtroff directory, even if you haven't installed xtroff. (See xtroff.r3.shar.Z for the fixes to get that working under R3) Fixes to me, please - I'll collect and send out another patch when there's enough changes. Have fun.
