 The PSTricks project was started by Timothy Van Zandt long time
 ago and is one of the oldest \TeX\ packages still in use.  `I
 started in 1991. Initially I was just trying to develop tools
 for my own use. Then I thought it would be nice to package them
 so that others could use them. It soon became tempting to add
 lots of features, not just the ones I needed. When this became
 so interesting that it interfered with my day ``job'', I gave
 up the project ``cold turkey'', in 1994.' --- Timothy Van Zandt
 Other people who where involved in this project are Denis Girou,
 Sebastian Rahtz, and Herbert Vo\ss}}
