This is very nice. Now, would someone please enlighten me (and I'm sure
lots of others) how to get hold of the psfig package. How does it compare to
psdit (part of the transcript package) whic supposedly gives a similar
possibility. What are the requirements for using it? etc. etc.

I am using a pyramid machine with a ``dual port'' os, which gives access to
both att and ucb versions of unix. There is on this machine something called
ditroff, which unfortunately does not run. I would like to hear from someone
who has experience using ditroff on a pyramid. 

Does anyone have any information on the DWB package from att? Are there 
ucb versions of this which include grap, pic etc.?
