Hi,
I would like to try to get something running which
would allow me to draw pic documents in a WYSIWYG style
I have a load of rather complex drawings to do.
The obvious candidates (it seems to me) are:
art (from the 2nd edition), though Andrey did stirling work
porting it to the draw model years ago I honestly don't feel it
up to the job - perhaps my lack of stamina?
cip/xcip - this is part of the blit distribution and xcip is
avaialable on the net these days. I have a vague memory that
someone got this to run on a modern OS - plan9/X11 perhaps?
anyone know more?
picasso - this would be x11 only and was in the later DWB
distributions but I seen no sign of any source for it anywhere.
anyone have the code which I could copy?
xfig + transfig - feels a bit like a patch on a patch and, being
modern unix code would (no doubt) include configure hell...
MS windows + visio, print to a file and include it as postscript
into my troff doc - feels like gining in.
Thnaks for any help/advice.
-Steve
