Hello all,
I need a driver/conversion program that will take HP-GL plotter commands
(in ASCII) and translate them into EGA screen graphics. Right now it takes
several minutes to see the results of a plot on our 7475A and the results
usually get discarded after a brief viewing. Email please and I'll
summarize. Thanks!
Kevin

I haven't had much use for the program so far, but I'm pretty sure it will allow you to view an HPGL file on a screen by converting the HPGL file to what HiJaak calls a .PIX file, which HiJaak knows how to display. The displayed resolution will of course be rather crude compared to that of a 7475 plotter. -- Howard Spindel - via FidoNet node 1:105/14 UUCP: ...!{uunet!oresoft, tektronix!reed}!busker!14.8!Howard.Spindel ARPA: Howard.Spindel@p8.f14.n105.z1.FIDONET.ORG
