My company needs a filter to convert HPGL (the Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language for pen plotters) to Postscript. Is there any available? Earl Locken Alberta Microelectronic Centre #200, 1620-29 St. NW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2N 4L7 UUCP: ...!ihnp4!alberta!calgary!amc-vlsi!earl

Kyle Please note the smiley! Can either be done. It would be really nice if a stand alone filter existed that went either way. We have files that are in both formats and we need to merge them into one document so either filter would be useful. Of course, a HPGL to Postscript would still be my choice as I generate a lot more Postscript than HPGL. Please help those of us that are not really in the thick of things when it comes to filters. ihnp4!alberta!auvax!kevinc (Kevin Crocker Athabasca University) Do our employers have opinions or is that what we get paid for!

Yes, it would be nice! > Please help those of us that are not really in the thick of things when > it comes to filters. I have received quite a few requests to pass along a PostScript -> HPGL filter if I receive one. It seems that there is quite a bit of interest in both the PS->HPGL and HPGL->PS filters, but unfortunately I have received neither. I was not able to catch the PostScript Interpreter that moved on net.sources.unix not too long ago, but I'm sure that someone should be able to convert it to output HPGL commands. Any wizards willing to try this one? I will volunteer as a guinea pig if you need to test it... Kyle Rhorer uunet!nuchat!meow!kyle

My solution for the HPGL -> PostScript problem: 1. Find a PC with Ventura Publisher. 2. Read in the HPGL- file as a Line-Art file. 3. Print it out as a PostScript file to a disk. (You must have installed a PS printer as VP's printing device). 4. Edit the scales if needed. BTW this works, I've tested it with files up to 200kb of HPGL. jja Tampere University of Technology Computer Science Department Finland

I have seen `n' dozen request for a HPGL to Postscript filter coming out of the States and each time I see one I post to those asking that Don McCormick at the CSIRO Division of Applied Physics here in Australia has such a beast. The problem is I don't know what Don's address is. If Don reads this group he may well post a followup. However I will leave it up to you enterprising guys in the States to try and find out what his address is. It shouldn't be too hard to find. Start with the UUCP maps find the site that corresponds to the CSIRO Divison of Applied Physics and post to Postmaster at that sight asking for Don's address. Chris Clarkson chrisc@augean.oz.au
