This one is a passing resemblance to a linux gizmo by the name of 
rockhopper.  It analyses the .hal configuration file of a linuxcnc 
installation, and generates a web (http://host:8000) viewable .svg file, 
useless because its images are so small for screen reading, file that is a 
logic diagram of the control code for a specific cnc controlled machine.  
You can save the file and posterize it to print it, tape the prints 
together and get a wall poster that is readable.  My little toy 7x12 lathe 
is 6 landscape pages done that way.  Even at 6 pages, its a "busy" diagram.

No problem is so large it can't be fit in somewhere.
A pen in the hand of this president is far more
dangerous than 200 million guns in the hands of
         law-abiding citizens.
