He is not out for recognition of himself, but for the GNU project. And not for some general goodness or whatever, but for recognition where it actually employed, namely in GNU/Linux systems. And how do you think documentation comes into being? By writing itself magically? > I recall, you said in the conversation that you spent "just too much > time" on it.

Good, then write a pstricks replacement, 76 page pairs of user manual and document the workings of the package for others to learn and benefit from. Blessings, honour and power be unto you. Until then, shut up. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
