Reading an article about Unix formatting and typesetting in
IEEE software (Sept 86), I stumbled on the following piece
of pic-code:
.PS
h = 2.0; y = 0.5; x = 0.5; n = 10;
H: line right h
L1: line up y from H.end
L2: line down y from H.end
for i = 0 to n do
{
line right x from i/n < L1.end, L2.end>
}
.PE
What's this? A cruel hoax? I've never seen for-loops in pic before
and they are certainly not defined in the grammar specification.

The pick in DWB2.0 is supposed to contain this new version. jaap
