Before I tear into it, has anyone done a pic -> postscript filter? The
recently posted GraphEdit for the suntools environment started me thinking,
and I'd really like to have such a filter. If one does exist, I'd
appreciate any pointers to it.
If not, I'll write one and post it when done.
Thanks, as always, in advance!

By "pic", do you mean the picture-drawing troff preprocessor from AT&T Bell
Labs, or do you mean something different?
pic stuff | troff <options> | <troff-to-ps-filter>
pic translates pic language into ditroff input language.
troff translates this into ditroff output language.
Several companies make postscript postprocessors for ditroff.
