[comp.graphics] directed graph drawing program

skinner@saturn.ucsc.edu (Robert Skinner) (05/07/89)

I recently requested a program to display directed graphs.
I got 3 references, and a ton of requests for copies, but no
actual program.  Here are the references, if anyone else has
more luck than I did, please send ME a copy.

Charles Spirakis***, and Allen Tuan
%T A Browser for Directed Graphs

I have only been able to get the reference by Rowe, et.al.  
The results look good, and the program runs on a Sun.  Maybe
one of the authors can respond by posting the program.  The work
was originally done at UCB, and the *'ed authors have moved on to:
* SRI
** Sun
*** Tandem

Maybe someone can ping them directly (Sun's naming convention is
first initial, last name, e.g. cmeyer@sun.com).

sorry for taking so long,
Robert

It seems funny that I didn't receive this until after I had given up....

An (old) version of GRAB is available by anonymous ftp from 
postgres.berkeley.edu.  I don't know if there is a more recent one.
You may want to contact Larry Rowe (larry@postgres.berkeley.edu)
or Eli Messinger (ebm@ibm.com) for more details.
