I just started playing with "pic" today and noticed that there seem to
be some sources missing. There were entries in the makefile, but no 
sources. The names were "gin", "gout", and "grapic". Does anyone know
what these do? I suspect that they are utilities that Bell didn`t want
to release with ditroff.

Also, "ideal" has a filter program to generate UNIX plot format files,
but there seems to be no such beast for "pic", although from looking at
the source, it doesn`t look like it would be hard to have pic generate
either plot format files, or the same output format as ideal. Has anyone
written anything to provide this feature. Or is that what the missing
sources provided?
