- You can try tgif. It's based on Xlib. It can also import PostScript
- files (can't edit them, just annotate them).
-
- You can get tgif through anonymous ftp from the /contrib directory on
- export.lcs.mit.edu. Just get all the /contrib/tgif-2.12* files.
- The .Z extension means that the file is compressed (you need to run
- 'uncompress'), and .tar extension means that the file is tared (you
- need to run 'tar xvf tgif-2.12-p7.tar'), and the files with the word
- 'patch' in it are patch files (you need to run
- 'patch -p -N < tgif-2.12-patch8' and so on).
