Summary description: Support for the ancient \emline macro
License type: pd
Announcement text:
Sometimes old LaTeX documents generated with TeXcad are hanging around, which make use of specials that were introduced in emTeX. Tough some DVI drivers supported these specials, recend pdfTeX doesn't. This package provides a workaround for those users, who don't want to change their picture sources and are willing to load TikZ instead. So far the package does only emulate \emlines. It does not support the emTeX specials.
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/tsemlines . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/tsemlines (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

tsemlines – Support for the ancient \emline macro
Occasional Documents appear, that use graphics generated by texcad from the emtex distribution.
These documents often use the \emline macro, which produced lines at an arbitrary orientation. The present package emulates the macro, using TikZ.
