The file "graph.orig" is the original binary that expects to find a font
called "digits.font", which was missing from the distribution. I have made
a copy of it in "graph" and newzap'd the binary to use topaz.font instead.
A different solution was suggested on Usenet by the author (see below).

Sigh... Why do I always forget that one ?
digits.font is a "small" font used to display the labels on the axes.
It must be present in several sizes so that it appears reasonable on
all output devices (It tries to select a font that will be 8/72 of an
inch high, or the nearest size if that isn't available). My Amiga
being rather far away at the moment (6000 miles east from here), I
recommend the following:
makedir fonts:digits
copy fonts:topaz/11 fonts:digits
fixfonts
This will allow the program to run though the labels on the axes will
be a trifle large on screen. If you want your labels on printed output
to look reasonable, and you have a high resolution printer (> 200 dpi)
you will probably also want to copy a bigger font (eg courier/24) into
the digits directory & run fixfonts again.
You can also draw your own font (with FED) at a smaller size, 6 looks
reasonable on screen. The only characters that are required for this
font are the digits 0 to 9, the ., the - and the *.
