[comp.lang.c] Wanted: program to preview HP Plots on ibm pc

kushmer@bnlux0.bnl.gov (christopher kushmerick) (02/22/91)

I am looking for a program (source or executable, public domain, shareware
or commercial, all acceptable) to take a file of HPGL (H P Graphic Language)
and preview it on the screen of an ibm pc.

Any leads would be appreciated, however I do not want to use the facilities
in Word Perfect.

Thanks in advance,

I've just about finished writing a program to view HPGL programs on the
screen.  "Just about finished" is probably a bit generous - it goes but
many HPGL instructions are missing.  Currently it enables me to view printed
circuit board layouts and works with the graphics output from Quattro-Pro as
well.   

It's written in Turbo Pascal and uses the BGI toolbox.  I'm not prepared
to release it in its present state - there are another couple of HPGL
instructions that really have to be added before this could be done.  If
anyone want's a copy (when it's finished) - send me some email.

Cheers
Giovanni

PS. Isn't "Finished" a horrible concept when applied to software :-)
