+Arraymaker is a program designed to take some of the tedium out of
+constructing arrays, commutative diagrams and tables in (la)tex.
+Latex arrays and xypic are constructed visually by entering
+data into an array of blank boxes and adding arrows via the mouse.
+The output can then be copied and pasted into a latex file with
+the help of your favourite editor.

+-----------------------------------
+Installation instructions.
+
+0. Arraymaker is written tcl/tk, so you'll need to install
+it (8.0 or better) if it isn't already. If you're using unix/linux,
+it's most likely installed. Further information is available
+for example at http://www.scriptics.com
+
+1. Initially arramaker should be a text file. Then under
+
+ Unix/linux + X: Make sure wish is on your path.
+Make sure arraymaker is executable (chmod u+x arraymaker). That's it.
+You can start it by typing arramaker in a terminal window.
+
+ MacOS: Drop the arraymaker icon onto "Drag & Drop Tclets"
+if present, and it should build a version of arraymaker that launches
+whenever you double click on it. Or else you can start wish
+and "scource" it.
+
+ Windows: Change arraymaker to arraymaker.tcl, and hopefully
+you'll get a launchable version. Or else you can start wish and
+"source" it. [Warning: Although I tried this once, I don't
+actually do windows, so ...]
