all the diagrams in /sys/doc/fossil.ps were
drawn with pic, by hand.  the [ ] block construction
is your friend.

if you're drawing things with a regular structure,
you often get better results with pic by hand than with
something like art.  you can make sure the regular
structure is expressed exactly.

on the other hand, if you're trying to draw figure 1
or the il network state diagram, art might be more
helpful.

art is in /n/sources/contrib/art.
