FastPicTeX is a program that allows to generate PicTeX based
chart-type graphs. It uses a very simple macro-language to enter the
data material that should be graphically depicted. Usage of the
program is very simple:

fastpictex file_in file_out

file_in:  macro file that contains the data and macros describing
          the chart. 
file_out: LaTeX file containing the PicTeX code for the chart. It can
          be included with a \input command.

To compile the program, simply change to the directory where you
extracted all the files from the archive. Then do the following:

cd fastpictex/src
xmkmf
make depend; make

That's all. Isn't it easy?

If you find this program useful, please send me a picture postcard of
your home town. 

Have fun with FastPicTeX !
