	   Has anyone come up with a more useful graphing facility for CLIM 1.[01]
	   than FORMAT-GRAPH-FROM-ROOT?  In particular, I need to be able to graph
	   general (connected) lattices which may have more than one "root", shared
	   nodes, etc.  Ideally, I'd like something similar to Genera's
	   FORMATTING-GRAPH, which provides a dynamic environment in which graphs are
	   can be elaborated in arbitrary order using FORMATTING-GRAPH-NODE and
	   CONNECT-GRAPH-NODE calls.  Before I go off and do something silly like
	   porting FORMATTING-GRAPH myself, has anyone done something similar?

       I did <:-).  It's called FORMATTING-GRAPH-FROM-ROOTS, and it's in CLIM
       1.1.  When I was working on it, I discovered that DW:FORMATTING-GRAPH,
       DW:FORMATTING-GRAPH-NODE, and DW:CONNECT-GRAPH-NODE turned out not to be
       necessary, since the new CLIM grapher seems to provide enough control to
       subsume them.  I converted all of my old programs that used those DW
       functions to CLIM, and they all work.

    Does this actually draw graphs, or does it still convert graphs to trees by
    replicating nodes as was done in earlier versions of CLIM?

It draws directed acyclic graphs.
