%     The goal of this command is to darken the background of any box -
%     text, figure, table etc. In the contrast to PostScript drivers,
%     DVIWIN etc. there is not used any driver-specific properties, but
%     standard Plain(La) TeX. Small black squares is places in the area
%     of the box. The dimension of black square (length \deltablack) may be
%     set by any means (\setlength). But it's reasonable to choose 
%     this dimension little greater than dimension of point of the
%     output printer. By default it is equal to 0.3pt, that is suitable
%     for the printer of 300 dpi.
%
%     The degree of darkness is regulated by means of change the distance
%     between small black squares. In this style squares are placed in the
%     rectangular order - it's simpler, but result is not always very good.
%     - See the style "shadbox1.sty".
%
%     The retribution for driver-independence is: the less squares and
%     nearer to each other, the greater the size of output DVI-file (and
%     grows quickly). One must experiment to find balance between quality
%     of shadow and size of output file.
%
%
%
%       You may change this code freely. But please inform me if you use
%       or improve these commands.
%
%
%
%     Usage:
%
%	\shadbox{x}{abc}
%
%            x   - ratio showing how many times the distance between squares
%                  greater than their size (may be only >1). 1 corresponds
%                  to black darkness, 2 corresponds to 50% darkness.
%
%            abc - the box, which must be darken
