Part of what is on your mind can be obtained by employment of the tcl/tk package 'Poor MAn's DSSSL Environment' (or 'Pomade'). Pomade has been anounced on this list by it's author Andreas Saremba a couple of months ago and is still available from it's former origin. (I just looked it up) Regards, Steffen citing from Andrea's former posting: >As you might guess from Pomade's full name, "Poor Man's DSSSL >Environment", it is freeware. Use it and have fun, but be warned >that it hasn't been tested by anybody except me. > >I have attached the (draft) documentation with the images omitted. >The package itself is small, less than 90 KB compressed (most of the >size comes from the gif images of the documentation).
