Why this becomes a major?
You may use
pic test2.pci | nroff -ms | less
sorry, if major is not the correct importance - related to plotutils or pic2plot in particular, I'd say it is major. But of course, related to the whole openSUSE distribution it may not be. feel free to change it :) thank you! I didn't use pic before and just got a few scripts from someone using Ubuntu and did not know how to get around pic2plot not working - luckily there is something so I can work with them now. For the sake of completeness, in order to create postscript output (which I wanted), the following worked: pic test2.pic | groff > test2.ps You may test out SR #183075 See https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Publishing/plotutils next view hours and in the resulting repository http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Publishing/openSUSE_12.3/ I checked out the package locally and build it -> seems to work Also, things like the following seem to be working again (which did not work with pic alone through your workaround) ===== .PS box "x\sp2\ep"; .PE ===== could you create an official patch for openSUSE 12.3? see comment #7 Request of a SWAMPID This is an autogenerated message for OBS integration: This bug (829479) was mentioned in https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/183075 Factory / plotutils SR #183106 for openSUSE 12.3 For openSUSE, a SWAMPID is not necessary. sr#183106 looks good, thanks. (Update started, see openSUSE:Maintenance:1866) OK fixed This is an autogenerated message for OBS integration: This bug (829479) was mentioned in https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/183106 Maintenance / thank you openSUSE-RU-2013:1227-1: An update that has one recommended fix can now be installed.

I'm no expert and please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that pic2plot is not working at all. Please put the following lines (without ==) into a file called test2.pic and execute the commands below to reproduce: ========== .PS ellipse "ellipsetext"; box "boxtext"; .PE ========== > pic2plot test2.pic -Tps > test2.ps pic2plot:test2.pic:3: syntax error before `"boxtext"' pic2plot:test2.pic:3: giving up on this picture The result is a ps file with only an ellipse but without the test. Changing the output format does not help. (I'm using the version shipped with openSUSE 12.3 but afaics not much has changed in this package with regard to my problem)
