+SUMMARY: automatic bounding boxes with PiCTeX
+
+PiCTeX is a "generic" set of TeX macros for drawing diagrams and
+pictures, dating from 1987, written and described by Michael J. Wichura.
+The last extensions contributed by other authors may have occurred
+1999. It may be difficult to find somebody who uses it today ...
+yet two users asked me for help this year ...
+
+A new generic package `autoarea.sty' makes PiCTeX recognize lines
+and arcs in determining the "bounding box" of a picture
+(PiCTeX so far accounted for put commands only).
+The "bounding box" is essential for proper placement of a picture
+between running text and margins and for keeping the running text away.
+Examples provided demonstrate what `autoarea.sty' does.
+
+Yes, it should suffice to load the package to have this effect.
+Read additional instructions and informations in the file
+`autoarea.sty'.
+
+`autoarea.sty' has been tested successfully on 42 geometric figures
+from a work by medieval scholar N. Oresme, as reproduced by Dr.
+Richard Lorch using PiCTeX.
