I have a copy of a document called "GRAP - A Language for Typesetting Graphs, Tutorial and User Manual", by Jon Bentley and Brian Kernighan of Bell Labs. It is a preprocessor which works with PIC and TROFF and can produce all sorts of different graphs on a typesetter. I covet this facility. I have TROFF and a typesetter, but I don't have GRAP or PIC. Can anybody provide any pointers? Many thanks. Martin Eiger {decvax, ihnp4!mit-eddie}!genrad!teddy!mie

PIC is supplied with Documenter's WorkBench and also in the TITROFF package from Bell Labs (is this still available?). I have adapted PIC to work with either the older (C/A/T) troff for DITROFF. For GRAP, you need the newer, more programmable, version of PIC described in BWK's latest revision of the PIC manual. I don't know how one gets hold of the newer PIC; I'm thinking about hacking on the older version to bring it up to date (but hate having to do so). I haven't heard how to get GRAP either. Given the new PIC, it looks simple enough to reinvent if necessary..
