Following stuff is contained in this package: 1. epic.sty documentstyle option for "Enhancements to Picture Environment". In its present form, will only work with LaTeX. 2. misc.sty documentstyle option containing miscalleneous macros. In particular, one for printing files verbatim. used by picman.tex; quite useful otherwise. 3. picman.tex manual for epic. 4. picman-fig*.tex manual related files. 5. sqrt.tex appendix to manual. Run the manual in the directory as the one where all the files are. To run it, say "latex picman.tex". As is discussed on the first page of the manual, there are two ways of going about making the macro files acessible to users via the option mechanism of \documentstyle command: 1. simplest is to put a copy in the directory where all such things reside (typically /usr/lib/tex/macros). 2. keep the files somewhere in your area, and have all the users declare a shell environment variable TEXINPUTS (typically done in the ~/.cshrc file); something like: setenv TEXINPUTS .:/usr/lilb/tex/macros:/users/yourself/texlib Otherwise the files can be explicitly \input with full path name and the .sty extension: \input{/..../epic.sty} You might wish to move the manual files to a subdirectory "man"; mkdir man mv picman* man Have fun. sunil podar
