[comp.text.tex] New user questions

Dear Netters,

    As a Troff user who is going to change to LaTeX, I need
help in the following aspects.

    (1) Suppose I have some data points on the plane. How can
        I plot the piecewise linear curve which goes through
        those points (something like PIC)?

    (2) Suppose I have the figure in .ps (which may be the
        postscript translation of a Troff/Pic file) file, can
        I just insert it in the LaTeX file? How?

    (3) Anybody willing to mail me his/her (old) LaTeX file with
        math, table and figure all in one? This might be the
        fastest way to change to LaTeX.
