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. + +Bob Tennent +School of Computing +Queen's University +Kingston, Canada K7L 3N6 +rdt@cs.queensu.ca |
