[comp.unix.misc] grap

rayj@camco.Celestial.COM (Ray Jones) (05/09/91)

 The pre processor for pic, "grap" came with my version of the text
processing software for Unix.  However, the only information I have is
the man page.  

The man page only tells me that .G1 and .G2 must surround the data
points.  This is about as much as the "pic" man page - tells me almost
nothing.
 Does anyone have a short tutorial, book recommendation or even a set 
of examples of grap input files?

Your input would be much appreciated.
Thanks
