Yes, thea are a couple of files, obviously compiled object files
with the extension ".o".
Loading of package "draw" actually works, but the compilation
requires almost 5 minutes,
every time again, when the package is loaded - that is not satisfactory.
(I just had not awaited the completion of the loading before).
During the compilation a huge ammount of messages is produced;
supposedly without any benefit for the user
