tsemlines

Summary description: Support for the ancient emline macro
License type: pd
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes old LaTeX documents generated with TeXcad are hanging around, which

supported these specials, recend pdfTeX doesn't.
This package provides a workaround for those users, who don't want to change
their picture sources and are willing to load TikZ instead.
So far the package does only emulate emlines. It does not support the emTeX
specials.
