I'd enjoy playing with it. > It's on the 1981 Usenix tape, in the ucol directory: https://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Applications/Shoppa_Tapes/usenix_81.tar.gz It looks like leroy produces output for an "extended" form of plot; from the docs: -- The plot stream leroy emits is intended for, and must be directed to, an extended UNIX plot filter. These filters recognize a number of commands not included in the vanilla seventh edition filters, mostly dealing with the Hershey fonts. The extended plot filters are upward compatible with their predecessors and have been implemented in a fashion which makes tailoring new devices filters very straightfor- ward. The source code is available on request. Filters currently exist for the Tektronix 4014, the Versatec, the HP7221A, and the Qume. -- -Henry
