/* Written 7:36 pm Feb 5, 1990 by sivanes@milton.acs.washington.edu in sunb0.cs.uiuc.edu:comp.graphics */ /* ---------- "Need help on Plotting HPGL files" ---------- */ I have some graphics files in HPGL format generated in an Apollo and want to plot it on a HP Plotter connected to an IBM PC. How would I go about doing this? Please help me. I already have the files transferred to my PC. Please email to sivanes@milton.acs.washington.edu Thanks in advance. /* End of text from sunb0.cs.uiuc.edu:comp.graphics */ Assuming they are uncorrupted, simply type the following at the dos prompt: [d:][path]filename > com1 (assuming of course, that you plotter is attached to com1 (the RS232 port on most machines...) )
