You don't specify whether you want to convert a coverage (or some coverages) to CGM format, or whether you want to convert, say, a plotfile. Some ARC/INFO commands start from the coverage (eg ARCDLG), while some start from a plotfile (eg PLOTSIF).

At the moment I convert ARC/INFO files saved in HPGL format to TIFF format using HIJAAK. TIFF files can be converted to SUN Raster files in a variety of ways. However, I would prefer to use GPLOT. Hence, my question on conversion og ARC/INFO to CGM. Jay Leavitt
