I Recall reading message traffic here in the last few months about someone who has written and has been testing s/w related to the HP-GL or HP plotters. As luck would have it I was asked today if I knew of such s/w, whether it's a driver or `conversion' program I don't recall. Perhaps someone could `steer' me in the right direction. It's for one of the local school boards that would like to either use their Amigas with their HP plotters or in the alternative `convert' HP output to drive Amiga supported printers or vice-versa, convert Amiga output to HP format for use in their PC's or some combination that makes use of both possible. I am in possession of PLT v1.3a for the Amiga which prints HP type output files on dot matrix printers but that is not quite what is being sought. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

What do you mean when you say it's not quite what is being sought. It does exactly what you say you need: "... alternative 'convert' HP output to drive Amiga supported printers ..." PLT: takes HP-GL input and prints it on any amiga supported printer. If that's not what you need, could you explain further?

As I read the message he wants to do just the opposite--take output destined for Preferences printers and translate it to HP-GL for use on an HP plotter. --Fabbian Dufoe 350 Ling-A-Mor Terrace South St. Petersburg, Florida 33705 813-823-2350 UUCP: ...uunet!pdn!jc3b21!fgd3
