We may want to pick this stuff up someday to replace fig2*...
/mit/sipbsrc is a bit tight on space right now, though.

Subject: Prerelease of Transfig R4a
I have reorganized TransFig so now all the translation programs are
drivers to a single program called fig2dev. This reduces the number
of executables from 9 to 3 (including 2 shell scripts), makes the
package smaller and hopefully easier to maintain.
The reorganized code has been in use at Cornell for a short while,
but I would like to exercise it some more before making it more
generally available. If you feel like it, please FTP it from
svax.cs.cornell.edu:~ftp/fig/release-4a-beta.tar.Z There are hardly
any changes or improvements, just a reorganization.
The final version of release 4a will include any changes needed for
compatibility with Dana's new version of XFig.
