[Stupid question of the month... for January 1987.   So I'm a little late.]

Reading through the -me reference manual for 4.3bsd, I see references to
"picture" preprocessors called "ideal" and "gremlin" -- "pic" I already know
about.  No other references to these beasties seem to appear in the Berkeley
documentation.

Since these are new to me, my stupid question is: What are they?  Are they
available?  If so, how?

(Well, actually that was three questions, but who's counting?)
