I'd like to write a replacement for pic; as such, I'd like to have some
specifications for the language, if anyone has them; figuring out details
from context can be tedious and is certainly incomplete.
groff includes an implementation of pic (in C++). It works with
ditroff and TeX as well as with GNU troff. You can get it by
anonymous ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu or your local GNU archive.
The best reference on pic is:
B.W. Kernighan, ``Pic -- A Graphics Language for Typesetting'' in Unix
Research System Papers, Tenth Edition Volume II.
