What one really (ideally) wants is a .BGI driver which outputs to

one of these graphic file formats.  Does anyone have one?

(GRAFDRIV Plus outputs to HPGL or PostScript format files.  

Do any of the paint programs know how to read them?  

Does anyone have routines for converting HPGL or PostScript to

GIF, PCX, etc?
