TransFig 3.1.1 is available on ftp.x.org in /contrib/applications/drawing_tools/transfig.
Be sure to set binary mode when transferring.
TransFig is a set of tools for creating TeX documents with graphics
which are portable, in the sense that they can be printed in a wide
variety of environments.
The transfig directory contains the source for the transfig command
which generates a Makefile which translates Fig code to various graphics
description languages using the fig2dev program. In previous releases,
this command was implemented as a shell script.
The fig2dev directory contains a general program for translating from
Fig code to other graphics desciption languages. The dev subdirectory
contains a library of output drivers used by fig2dev.
Drivers currently exist for the following graphics langauges:
(E)EPIC macros, LaTeX picture environment, PIC, PiCTeX, PostScript, and TeXtyl.
Fig2dev can be configured with a subset of these drivers
I have taken over the maintenance of TransFig from Micah Beck so please send any
bug notices, fixes, contributions etc to me at bvsmith@lbl.gov.

Version 3.1
===============================================================================
Patchlevel 1 (Jan 24, 1995)
Changes from patchlevel 0:
Bugs Fixed:
o eps files with binary data (!) now handled correctly
o -f option to PostScript driver with unknown PostScript font name caused
seg fault
o increased resolution of unitlength specifier in latex/epic drivers - was
rounding 0.00083333 to 0.0008.
o dash length not set correctly for epic driver
o area fill values incorrectly interpreted for some drivers other than
PostScript - this also made fig2dev outpus spurious %s%s(%d%d)}
for epic/eepic
o linejoin set instead of linecap in postscript output
o sets linecap to ROUND for ellipses and closed splines with dotted lines
o defines showpage as null for included EPS files instead of removing the
word "showpage" from them
o definition for XCOMM in Imakefiles for those running R4
o bug in freeing xpm image structure incompatible pointer type
o bug in fig2dev/Imakefile variable for including -ldbm explicitly
o removed -lnsl option from fig2dev/dev/Imakefile - imake files should
automatically add this to the Makefile for Solaris (SVR4) systems
o note added to README that you must do "make" before "make install"
o bug in reading text for linux os - text size was set to 0
o bcopy changed to memcpy call in dev/readpics.c
o SVR4 condition added to transfig/transfig.h for including string.h
o variable in fig2dev/Imakefile and fig2dev/dev/Imakefile for include
directory for xpm files if your xpm headers are not in the default X11
include directory
