Does anyone know whether there exists a program for interactive input 
of pictures and fancy tables for TeX? It should be running on PC/ATs, drive
Hercules, EGA, VGA (maybe also CGA), use a mouse as input device and 
generate the TeX commands for the picture I draw on the screen.

If there is such a program, how would I get it, how much, does it cost ...?

If there is no such program however: Wouldn't it be great to have one? It
would probably make a good commercial / shareware product (around 30$). So I'm
basically saying: *Someone* should write one (maybe even I myself).

If you know of an existing program, please let me know.

If you don't, but would like to have one as well, send me a note with what you
think would be requirements. I'll summarize to the net.

Thanks.
