- I've put the sources for a program called "psgraph" on gatekeeper.dec.com,
- for public FTP. psgraph is sort of like the ancient Unix "graph"
- command, except that it generates PostScript directly and has many
- more features. It's not meant to do everything, or to run interactively,
- but it's handy for generating simple graphs without much fuss.

- Here is the README file:
-
- "Psgraph" takes input files vaguely like those accepted by graph(1),
- and produces PostScript output. The manual page explains the rest.
-
- Psgraph was written by Chris Kent of DECWRL (now Chris Kantarjiev
- of Xerox PARC), based on some code from Bob Brown of NASA RIACS,
- and has been hacked on by Brian Reid and Jeff Mogul of DECWRL.

-
- To install psgraph, you might have to modify Makefile and psgraph.h
- to reflect where you want to install the files. In psgraph.h,
- the important line is:
- #define PROLOG "/usr/local/lib/ps/psgraph.pro"
-
- To obtain another copy of the code (in case someone updates the
- code later on):
- ftp gatekeeper.dec.com
- user anonymous
- <give your name when asked for the password>
- cd pub/DEC
- type binary
- get psgraph.tar.Z
- then "uncompress psgraph.tar.Z", cd to an empty directory where
- you want to put the sources, and "tar xf psgraph.tar".
