[ANNOUNCEMENT] New Package: pstoedit-3.42


INFO
====
Wolfgang Glunz's pstodedit package (pstoedit-3.42) is now available for cygwin.

pstoedit converts Postscript(TM) and PDF files to other vector graphic
formats so that they can be edited graphically. It provides xfig-compatible
.fig output format as one option.  See
/usr/share/doc/pstoedit-3.42/pstoedit.htm after package installation for more
details on which output formats are supported by pstoedit.

The architecture of pstoedit consists of a PostScript frontend which
calls a PostScript interpreter (ghostscript) and the individual backends which
are plugged into a kind of framework.  pstoedit links to and requires the
recently uploaded plotutils-2.41 package. In the near future it will also link
to libEMF, providing emf output format.

More information is available in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/pstoedit-3.42.README.
The Web page for the package is: 
http://www.pstoedit.net/pstoedit .

'3.42' is displayed.
