Installation and Usage of the Package

This package of new commands for the picture environment has been implemented as a documentstyle option ``epic''. To include these commands, ``epic'' should be added as an option in the \documentstyle command, e.g.:
\documentstyle[epic]{article}

For the above option to work, one of the following will have to be done prior to its use:

  1. A copy of the macro file epic.sty be put in the standard place for such macros (typically /usr/lib/tex/macros), or

  2. A copy of epic.sty be put in some other directory, and the path declared in the environment variable TEXINPUTS; e.g. for C-shell on unix systems, put a command similar to the following in the ``.cshrc'' file:
    setenv TEXINPUTS .:/usr/lib/tex/macros:/users/podar/texlib

Above environment variable is the directory search path for files specified in an \input or an \openin command.
