The eqnrc is inserted by eqn, but in the pipeline run by "groff -e -p", eqn runs *after* pic, so pic never sees this input and cannot act upon it. Since pic does not (as far as I know) have an analogous automatic startup file, you have to move the pic stuff out of the eqnrc and into a "picrc" that you must include manually: groff -e -p picrc test.groff >test.ps
