I want to get ahold of a wide variety of HPGL files. They can
be ultra simple, or outrageously complex, but they must work on standard
HP plotters (If you send me something with HPGL extensions, please tell me).
I have the Space Shuttle, 3d house plan, and Fireman's Nozzle from
Autocad. I want more real world examples...especially ones that do more
than just PA, PD, PU.
To make it easy to send me some files, I'll include a tarmail
script below. *Do not* send me anything proprietary/confidential.
A sample line to send to me would be:
tarmail daniel@island.com "sample hpgl files" *.plt
thanks much!
Daniel
to save the rest of this file as "tarmail" if you are in vi,
stuff the next two lines:
:/^if test/,/^fi/ w tarmail
:!chmod 755 tarmail
if test $# -lt 3; then
echo "Usage: tarmail mailpath \"subject-string\" directory-or-file(s)"
exit
else
mailpath=$1
echo "mailpath = $mailpath"
shift
subject="$1"
echo "subject-string = $subject"
shift
echo files = $*
tar cvf - $* | compress | btoa | split -700 - /tmp/tm$$
n=1
set /tmp/tm$$*
for f do
{
echo '---start beef'
cat $f
echo '---end beef'
} | mush -s "$subject - part $n of $#" $mailpath
n=`expr $n + 1`
done
rm /tmp/tm$$*
fi
