[XeTeX] Drawing package for XeTeX in plain TeX?

[John Was]

Dear Mojca

Thanks very much - I'll try it.  At the moment I've altered various files as 
a result of messages received earlier today, and the only result is that a 
PDF of a drawing which came in perfectly yesterday has now disappeared!

It's years since I installed a new version of TeX, and I remember now the 
awful process of fighting with the installation instead of just using it as 
one would any normal commercial program.  I'll persevere until everything is 
working, but it's clear enough why so many people don't - which is a pity.

Best


John
