I'm trying to import xfig graphics into a LaTeX document with
FreeBSD 2.1.  My usual strategy was to export the xfig picture
to PicTeX, and then \input() the pictex file into the tex file.
However, pictex doesn't seem to be available for FreeBSD 2.1,
or at least I can't find it in the ftp archive.

The only thing that works at all on my current setup is to export to
LaTeX picture, and it doesn't have the capabilities I need.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.  

Thanks,

-Jason
