[comp.sys.mac] HPGL output from a Mac?

viking@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu (Joni W. Backstrom) (03/07/88)

We wish to use the Mac to drive a file recorder which accepts HPGL
data.  Are there any packages availiable for the Mac which will let
MacDraw output HPGL?

There *must* be something to drive HP plotters, etc.  It shouldn't
be too hard to 'capture' the HPGL plotter data and send it off to
the film recorder.

Thanks for any and all information!

There are several plotter drivers on the market that will allow a Mac to
drive HP plotters.

MacPlotts II by Computer Shoppe - My vote for best plotter driver

MacPlots by Micro Spot (?)

and another by Softstyle 

Sorry, I can not help you in capturing the output.
