      MathsPIC parses a plain text input file and generates a plain
      text output-file containing PiCTeX and TeX commands, which can
      then be TeX/LaTeXed in the usual way.  It also outputs a
      comprehensive log-file.  MathsPIC facilitates creating figures
      using PiCTeX by providing an environment for manipulating named
      points and also allows the use of variables and maths (advance,
      multiply, and divide) - in short - it takes the pain out of
      PiCTeX.
