I have not been reading this newsgroup for quite a while. So this subject may have been covered >14 days ago... I need a filter that reads hpgl and outputs something that is understood by IBM 3812 printers. IBM calls the commands of this printer "Page Map Primitive Commands". BTW, does anyone know what the code "PS4;" means ? (I found it in the pre-amble of an hpgl file). -- _____ __ __ __ __ ____ _____ _____ ______ _____ _____ | _ \ | |/ || \| | / \ | _ \ | _ \ | ___|| _ \ / ___| | __/ _ | < | || || || __/ | __/ | >__ | < \__ \ |__| |_| |__|\__||__|\__| \____/ |__| |__| |______||__|\__||_____/ P.

From the HP7475A "Interfacing and Programming Manual" PS: Paper Size instruction 0-3: "B" or "A3" size 4-127: "A" or "A4" size If you are serious about writing a hpgl-><any> filter, get this book. -- David F.
