   Does anyone out there have any CGM files that have cell arrays in them.
I'm writing a raster CGM interpreter and need something to test it on.  I
know what I read the standard to mean, but I want to make sure that I
agree with what you read the standard to mean.  I need some test files,
either in Binary or ClearText encoding that have cell array graphics
primitives in them.  My interpreter can't handle any vector stuff, but
I can strip that out by hand if necessary.

   I'm working on a set of translators to go from Binary to ClearText,
and ClearText to Binary encodings.  Again, they won't handle vector
stuff, just rasters (cell arrays and anything that affects cell arrays).
However, I can give you the source (C, Lex, Yacc) if you want to fix it
up.  And the price is right.  Any interest?  Anyone else working on such?
How about other tools that would be useful?

   Is anyone else working on a CGM interpreter?  I'd like to talk to
others in the same boat.

   Please mail directly to me instead of to the net, as I don't get to
read this group very often.

   Thanks for any help, files, programs, leads on same.
