[comp.sys.hp] I need an HP-7475A Simulator

mal@hjuxa.UUCP (LEACH) (06/12/88)

I would like to get ahold of a program that reads HP-GL 
(Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language) and simulates the actions
of the plotter on an EGA equiped IBM PC.  As is usally the case
I would prefere public domain software but would be willing to
pay for this if I have to.

Thanks for any leads,

The fancier desktop publishing programs have conversion programs
that convert HPGL into a form that you can not only display
by can manipulate and wrap text around.  If you don't need a
complete publishing program you might look at wordperfect 5.0
which also includes such a conversion program.
