+                    DOCUMENTATION for PiCTeX
+
+1. The macro file pictex.tex (or pictexwd.tex) contains a sober yet 
+comprehensive documentation. 
+
+2. Michael Wichura presented a description in TUGboat 9 (2), 
+pp. 193-197 (1988), see 
+
+    http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/Articles/tb09-2/tb21wichura-pictex.pdf
+
+3. Michael Wichura's MANUAL -- today called `PiCTeX and Table Manual'
+ -- is distributed by PCTeX: 
+
+    http://www.pctex.com/books.html
+
+4. Other overviews have been presented at least in Helmut Kopka's 
+GERMAN books on LaTeX extensions in the 1990s. [Lazy, I know.]
+
+5. Another GERMAN reference list, a quite RECENT one, is Uwe Siart's 
+PDF at
+
+    http://www.siart.de/typografie/pictex-referenz.pdf
+
+6. An early command summary has been Angus Duggan's PDF at 
+
+    http://mirror.ctan.org/info/pictex/summary/pictexsum.pdf
+
+7. Chapter 5 and Appendix E of the documentation for the MathsPIC 
+package (Perl version) 
+
+    http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/mathspic/perl/mathsPICmanual.pdf
+
+provide a nicely typeset summary of PiCTeX, of some of its commands, 
+and of files around PiCTeX available from the web; somewhat replacing 
+the present overview. MathsPIC provides a kind of front-end script 
+language for PiCTeX.
+
+8. Similarly, Section 9.9 of the real book (also available as an 
+e-book)
+
+    Syropoulos A., Tsolomitis A. and Sofroniou N.: Digital Typography 
+    Using LaTeX. Springer, New York 2003, ISBN 978-0387952178
+
+has 10 pages presenting PiCTeX.
+
+9. You may like short descriptions of PiCTeX including HINTS 
+concerning basic problems with PiCTeX

+
+or in the TUG.org package information: 
+
