I really need to find a free version of this program or steal it along with the style program. I use UNIX and troff extensively for writing documents, and i would really like to have that graph generator. any help would be gladly accepted. ###### From: triso@remove-me.inasec.ca (Tris Orendorff) Newsgroups: alt.folklore.computers Subject: Re: grap preprocessor for troff Date: Thu, 25 Mar 1999 03:45:42 GMT Organization: UUNET Canada News Transport Lines: 19 Distribution: all Message-ID: <7dcbnf$mf8$1@nntp1.uunet.ca> References: <7d8q66$sca$1@dinar.varner.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: 209.47.93.98 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII X-Newsreader: News Xpress 2.01 Path: chonsp.franklin.ch!pfaff.ethz.ch!news-zh.switch.ch!news-ge.switch.ch!news.maxwell.syr.edu!cyclone.bc.net!news.uunet.ca!tris In article <7d8q66$sca$1@dinar.varner.com>, talon@hancock.nospam.k12.mo.us (bill schaub) wrote: > > Are there any troff hackers in here that happen to have grap, a program > that takes descriptions of charts or graphs and turns them into PIC output to > be typeset?

I think that this is in either the Linux distribution or the GNU troff package. ----- BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK ----- Version: 3.12 GCS d++ s a C+ UC++++ P+ L E- W+ N++ o- K++ w+ O+ M !V PS+ PE Y+ PGP t+ !5 X- R- tv--- b++ DI++ D+ G+ e+ h---- r+++ y+ ------ END GEEK CODE BLOCK ------ ###### From: mblain@wizvax.net (Mark Blain) Newsgroups: alt.folklore.computers Subject: Re: grap preprocessor for troff Date: Thu, 25 Mar 1999 23:33:58 GMT Message-ID: <36fac51d.3847736@news.wizvax.net> References: <7d8q66$sca$1@dinar.varner.com> <7dcbnf$mf8$1@nntp1.uunet.ca> X-Newsreader: Forte Agent 1.5/32.451 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit NNTP-Posting-Host: ts1p15.wizvax.net X-Trace: 25 Mar 1999 18:38:13 -0500, ts1p15.wizvax.net Lines: 34 Path: chonsp.franklin.ch!pfaff.ethz.ch!news-zh.switch.ch!news-ge.switch.ch!news.belnet.be!isdnet!newsfeed.cwix.com!206.190.128.10!newsfeed.yosemite.net!newsfeed.wizvax.net!news.wizvax.net!ts1p15.wizvax.net On Thu, 25 Mar 1999 03:45:42 GMT, triso@remove-me.inasec.ca (Tris Orendorff) wrote: >In article <7d8q66$sca$1@dinar.varner.com>, talon@hancock.nospam.k12.mo.us (bill schaub) wrote: >> >> Are there any troff hackers in here that happen to have grap, a program >> that takes descriptions of charts or graphs and turns them into PIC output to >> be typeset?
