Recently I had the pleasure (:-)) of using UN*X pic/troff to make a
moderately complex drawing.  While the results were completely
acceptable, the process of making it (edit, make hard copy, oops!, edit,
...) was not.  I am looking for a way to ease the process of making pic
drawings.  Any good suggestions will be gratefully accepted.  It seems
that one could use a drawing program on the ST (like Degas) to make the
drawing, and then convert the output of the drawing program into
pic/troff commands.  Has anyone done this kind of thing before?  Is there
a PD/shareware/commercial filter available to convert popular ST
graphics files into pic/troff?  Please respond via email, and I will
summarize responses to the net.
