Hi,

	I am new to this group and was lucky enough to catch the frequently
asked questions posting.  I found that one of the answers (where to get the
PiCTeX manual) actually raised another for me: what IS PiCTeX?  Is this the
same as {picture} mode in LaTeX?  I am quite interested in any other means
of getting graphics into TeX (I use LaTeX) since {picture} mode routinely
makes latex run out of space at our site (I get the picture-mode stuff
from GNUPlot, it has a latex driver.)

	So, what is PiCTeX?  Maybe you should rephrase that question in
the frequ. asked list to "What is PiCTeX and where do I get the manual?"

			Thanks,		Jeff
