Pic format to fig format converter

Pic2fig is a picl preprocessor for drawing simple figures in Fig code. The basic objects are box, line, arrow, circle, ellipse, arc and text.

When pic2fig is executed, it produces an output file in the current directory. The name is constructed from the input file’s name. If the input filename ends with .pic, then that extension will be replaced by .fig. Otherwise, .fig is appended to the input filename. If file does not exist, then pic2fig tries appending .pic to the name.

Updated to produce FIG 3.2 format by Patrick Powell

Note this version does not support the groff/pic ‘thickness’ attribute.
