Summary description: Legacy stub to allow loading pictex as m-pictex
Announcement text:
m-pictex.sty was a wrapper for a context module making pictex more usable for tex without e-tex. The Context module is no longer distributed so this release defines the package to load pictex. It is just distibuted for old documents. The package is not needed and pictex can be used directly.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/latex-context-ppchtex The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/obsolete/macros/latex/contrib/latex-context-ppchtex/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese

latex-context-ppchtex – Legacy stub to allow loading pictex as m-pictex
m-pictex.sty was a wrapper for a ConTeXt module making picTeX more easily usable in classic TeX with no e-TeX extensions.
m-pictex.sty is here adjusted to be a stub loading pictex.sty. This has not been needed in LaTeX or ConTeXt for decades, but old documents may be using this name.
