The format is not really meant to be human-readable, but it is plain text and documentation exists. xfig can read these and export them in many formats. It can even export pic format, but don't expect things like colors to work. I usually export the pictures as encapsulated postscript. You can generate the pictures however you want. I used a chain of awk scripts--inefficient, but easy to debug. -- John Stalker Department of Mathematics Princeton University (609)258-6469
