[pstricks] [Fwd: CTAN has a new package: pst-bar]

[Alan Ristow]

Thanks for posting that, Herbert -- I haven't checked comp.text.tex yet
today, so I hadn't seen it yet.

For those who are interested, the version I posted to CTAN is slightly
updated from the last one I made available to the PSTricks mailing list.
It now draws horizontal bar charts, can handle most text elements in the
file headers (including spaces, but still not commas), and the
documentation is greatly improved (though there is still considerable
room for improvement, IMO).
