Hello,

I've installed tgif, a great 2D structured drawing program, in outland
for linux, sun4, decmips, and rsaix.  IMHO, it has many more features
and has a much cleaner and usable interface than either xfig or idraw.

To run it:

	add outland; tgif

From the man page:

       tgif  -  Xlib based interactive 2-D drawing facility under
       X11.  Supports hierarchical construction of  drawings  and
       easy  navigation between sets of drawings.  It can also be
       used to launch applications.  It's also  a  hyper-graphics
       (or  hyper-structured-graphics) browser on the World-Wide-
       Web.

To see a demo of the WWW capability:

	add outland; tgifwww

It has lots of great features and I'd suggest people
(especially those needing to draw circuit diagrams)
play around with it.

	--- Erik
