+jPicEdt is a software aimed at alleviating the burden of using PSTricks,
+eepic or LaTeX's picture environment macros in a LaTeX file. It allows the
+user to draw graphical objects using graphic primitives (e.g. splines,
+arcs, polygons,...), position them easily with the mouse, and add text
+using LaTeX/PSTricks box commands (e.g. dashbox, psframebox,...).
+
+This is a repackaging of the JPicEdt distribution jar archive.
+
+There is a required pstricks-add.{sty,tex} available in add-ons/Tex-macros
+of the source. The versions supplied with Slackware's tetex package are
+newer and seem to work fine by default; however, if you encounter any problems
+with it, you might try using the files supplied with JPicEdt.
