[ Why or why are people still cross-posting comp.sys.3b1 and
comp.sys.att?  I've changed that to comp.text which is far more
relevant, though comp.graphics may also be appropriate. ]

What you are talking about is cip (or the newer xcip), which is indeed
a mouse-driven, menued, object oriented, graphics drawing package,
which does indeed spit out PIC.

I kind of doubt Hans can post a port of cip or xcip, since they are
licensed AT&T software.

However, anyone can buy them from the AT&T Toolchest for a very low
price.  They come in source form, and are part of the 630-pkg.

There's also a new package for the X Window System (Open Look) called
Picasso.  I'm not sure how one would get this without also getting
DWB-3.1.
