+diagmac2.sty is a small modification of the diagmac macros written
+by John Reynolds (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~jcr/) in 1987 and available
+from his ftp site (ftp://ftp.cs.cmu.edu/user/jcr) since 2002. The only
+modifications to the original package is that restrictions on line
+slopes have been removed, on the assumption that the pict2e.sty package
+(http://www.ctan.org/get/macros/latex/contrib/pict2e.zip) is being
+used. The User's Manual (renamed here diagmac.txt) and the test file
+(diagmactest.tex) are as originally released by Reynolds, except for the
+replacement of
+
+\input diagmac
+
+by
+
+\input{diagmac2.sty}
+
+in the latter. The limitations on line slopes described in the third
+paragraph of the User's Manual can be ignored with diagmac2.
+
+At Reynolds's ftp site, there is the following disclaimer:
+
+ These macros are intended for public usage and have not changed in
+ many years. Acknowledgement of their usage is not necessary. However,
+ neither I nor CMU accept any responsibility for the consequences of
+ errors in these macros or their documentation. This is more than the
+ usual disclaimer; TEX is a beastly language for programming anything
+ complex, and I am not an expert in its use, so that there are probably
+ errors lurking in the macros.
+
+In fact, after more than 20 years of intensive use by dozens of
+enthusiastic users, it seems that not a single error has been
+discovered.
