(One of the two books is more pertinent >to this than the other, but I forget which, sorry. Probably the latter.) I just looked at my well-read copies of both books and couldn't find this. In "More Programming Pearls" Bently discusses PIC and gives a prototype implementation of PIC, but he only mentions GRAP in passing. I think that the AWK prototype for GRAP is in Aho, Weinberger and Kernighan's book "The AWK Programming Language", but my copy is at work and I can't check right now.

I was thinking of the discussion on presenting graphs in More Programming Pearls, which is pertinent but not as helpful as the source given in the awk book. Lee -- Liam R. E.
