[seqfan] Re: Multiplicative Graphs

[Andrew Weimholt]

Perhaps I write a program this weekend, if someone else doesn't beat me to it.
I've written some graph generation programs before, so I've got some
code lying around that can easily be adapted for computing this
sequence. I'd do it sooner, but I'm swamped with work until the
weekend.
