The file pstricks.doc documents the main source code and various other extensions have some documentation. I don't have anything I've never released. tim -- Timothy Van Zandt Prof of Economics, INSEAD 2003-2004: Visiting Prof at NYU Stern http://faculty.insead.edu/vanzandt Crashedandburnt wrote: > Herbert Voss wrote in message news: > >>The problem is, that there is no documentation about this >>low level structure. > > > I am sorry to report a telephone conversation that I had some years > ago with > the author of this package.
