Versatec makes one for their eletrostatic plotters. It works under vms v4.4 form a real vms printer queue. I tried it and t worked fine. It came with their driver tape. On the other hand, if your going to something like an hp-7550A you can just run it as a terminal printer queue and let the printer symbiont do all the work. It just talks an ascii stream. We do it for SAS, SPSSX, RS/1, and 20/20 all the time. Of course you have to turn off all the flag/burst stuff on the device queue and set up a form with /NOTRUNCATE and /NOWRAP for it to run right. Do you have some other strange plotter? US mail: Chris Johnson Academic Computer Services Northeastern University 39RI 360 Huntington Ave. Boston, MA.
