+ FastPicTeX
+ by Dr. med. Harald Stauss
+ 1997-2008
+
+FastPicTeX is a preprocessor for PiCTeX that takes very easy to write
+macros and converts them to PiCTeX code that can be included in LaTeX
+documents. FastPicTeX is specifically designed for diagrams of
+numbered data material, such as line graphs, bar graphs, or xy
+graphs. A detailed manual for FastPicTeX is included as PDF. 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 in a LaTeX document with the \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-x.x\src
+make
+
+That's all. Isn't it easy?
+
+A binary for DOS/Windows is included.
+
+If you find this program useful, please send me a picture postcard of
+your home town. Otherwise, the GNU general public licence (GPL)
+applies.
+
+Have fun with FastPicTeX !
