I'm looking for a utility to print tek4010 files on a PS printer. Does anyone have a converter or PostScript prolog that emulates it. I'm not too picky about the platform, although VMS is preferrable.

We sell a package called 4014plot that converts tek plots to PostScript. It was written on a UNIX system but it is distributed as source so it should be easy to port to whatever you have. I'm not at work but I think it is $80 for source. -- Phil Hughes, SSC, Inc. P.O. Box 55549, Seattle, WA 98155 (206)FOR-UNIX uw-beaver!tikal!ssc!fyl or uunet!pilchuck!ssc!fyl or attmail!ssc!fyl

As I recall we tried it out and it worked, but we haven't been using it as written. The reason is that we generate our plots by feeding Unix neutral plot files into the graphics driver, and it was simpler to just feed the neutral plot(1) format directly into a filter that generates PS output. Anyway, if I get any requests for either of these on biomel I will try to dig them up and send them out. The tek2ps filter was, I believe, written by someone called Brachman in California. The plot2ps filter is my hack of this or some other program from Usenet. It permits multiple plots on a page by the way. -- Bill Silvert, Habitat Ecology Division.
