Thanks for testing. I've added to the PROBLEMS file that version

As I read pic documentation, these *should* behave differently; the
former should plot tw
the new groff pic behavior.
Maintaining compatibility with the old AT&T pic is another argument
for restoring the old behavior.

Well yes, they are different in the sense that the former explicitly
moves to point (1,1), while the latter simply starts plotting from the
To me it is perfectly natural that
line from 1,1 then up 1
is different from
line then up 1
In the first case, there is a very clear intuitive specification of a path
that starts at 1,1 and then goes up 1 -- it is not ambiguous.
In the second case, there is no clear specification of

I'm forwarding this bug report to the list here; can someone please
test grap with non-GNU pic?
The problem reported does not occur with old AT&T pic (from the 80s).
I have that old version running and tested it before reporting the problem.

Ted, have you ever tried to run grap with, say, Dwight's dpic? What
