The PRETTYBOX program was written to work with the Wisconsin (GCG)
package by Rick Westerman (E-mail: westerm at aclcb.purdue.edu
Post: Ag Campus Laboratory for Computational Biology, BCHM Building,
Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907, USA). It will also appear
in a future release of the EGCG extended GCG programs.
It supports only PostScript output (it writes a file of postscript instructions
as output instead of using the GCG graphics drivers) in order to achieve
the shading effects.
