[comp.os.vms] Looking for HPGL to DDIF driver

fisher@edwards-vax.af.mil (11/07/90)

I'm trying to locate anyone who has developed a converter/filter/cda-driver/etc
that allows the conversion of files from HPGL graphics language to Digital DDIF
format.   I posted this request last week to comp.os.vms, but received no
responses.  I am now attempting the request again with a larger distribution.

If you know of any packages, either public domain or comercial, please let me
know.

Thank you

Lawrence,
	Digital has a product, DECview3D, which will read in an HPGL file, and
write out a DDIF snapshot.  It also produces PostScript(tm), SIXEL, and other
output formats.  The current version runs on VMS, and conversion must be done
interactively.  The next point release, currently under development,
converts in batch, and a subsequnet release will run on Ultrix.
