- Oh, that is easy. :-) ftp to princeton.edu and get various Tim van
- Zandt packages like PStricks, Seminar or texpath. For a snaky curve
- texpath is it. This package is still under development so if you miss
- something bug tvz and you will likely have it pretty soon. :-)
- This stuff mixes TeX and PostScript and works very well on NeXT.

- If you do not know what you are doing getting into a ditch is equally
- trivial.
