:|   A long time ago, when I was first connecting up to the net (about
:| 1984 or 1985) I once received an ascii 'map' showing the connections

:I remember a < uucp.map > file that was on the "{uunet|backbone}!alphacm"
:system very much like the above, but it hasn't changed in years (I don't
:think) and have been, myself, looking for some type of executable that
:would make a < uucp.map > like your example or this exceprt below --

:	ucivax____ucbvax____decvax____astrovax
:	      \__mickey \         \_

I cannot find my comp.sources.misc index file, but I wrote a program
called uumap that may be called that or it may be called umdb<something>.
I have it on an archive tape somewhere, but I don't know where.
I have a few problems here that makes it inconvienient to search
for the stuff just now.  If you can't find it in the c.s.m archive list,
e-mail me and I'll dig a bit.

It reads pathalias input or output (uses pathalias) and produces stuff like


             +-----c
   +---b-----+
   |         +-----d
a--+
   +---e-----+-----f
   +---g
