- There's a set of troff macros that turn a "typewriter drawing" into
- lines called "gc".
- As I recall, it handles curves through the use of adjacent '(' or '@'
- characters. I think they work only for certain Xerox printers.

- There's a filter version, called "gc2pic",
- which generates "pic" output. The version I used
- did not handle any form of curves.
-
- Given my lack of a working "xcip/cip" program
- for generating pic output, gc2pic seems like
- the easiest way of creating pic pictures fast.
-
- Is there a newer version of gc2pic available that corrects
- the curve problem?
