	There are two three packages that you can try.
	1) Texcad. One problem is, version 3.2 doesn't run in Win98
because 
	of a bug in Turbo pascal 7.0.  
	2)Latexcad.  This is a package for windows. 
	3)Texpict and Tkpaint.  For Texpict, Tcl/Tk has to be installed
on 
	your computer. Tcl/tk can be downloaded from www.scriptics.com.
	Texpict can be downloaded from
http://gatxan.cimne.upc.es/texpict/#download 
	Tkpaint can be obtained from
http://uvi.netanya.ac.il/~samy/tkpaint.html A compiled 
	executable is available for windows.
