% The package \textsf{pict2e} that is mentioned in the 2nd edition of
% ``\LaTeX: A Document Preparation System'' has not yet been produced.
% It is unlikely that the \LaTeX3 Project Team will ever produce this
% package thus we would be very happy if someone else creates it.
%
% Most of the basic functionality of the proposed package---implementing
% picture mode commands using driver specific |\special|'s (eg
% PostScript code) is available in the old \LaTeX2.09 packages:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item \textsf{pspicture} (By David Carlisle).
% \item \textsf{pspic} (By Kresten Krab Thorup).
% \end{itemize}
% However, there are some syntactic differences between these styles, and
% the proposed \textsf{pict2e}. Both these packages are probably still
% available from CTAN.
% 
% Another alternative  would be to use the very powerful
% \textsf{pstricks} package written by Timothy Van Zandt. 
% CTAN archives have \textsf{pstricks} in the directory:\\
% |graphics/pstricks|.
