I have such a biest as a LaTeX environment, but it is completely undocumented. I.e., it is fully tested, but has not one line of comments. -- But it is written in a structured way (not like LaTeX code :-) . -- So if somebody wants to have it, you may send me a mail. Please note that it must not be put in a server. I usually don't give away undocumented sources. -- Joachim =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Joachim Schrod Email: xitijsch@ddathd21.bitnet DANTE e.V.
