[comp.sys.mac.programmer] HP graphics lang & Mac

Hullo Folks,
  I'm not (yet) a Mac programmer.  As I sit by a Sun 3, a friend
(who tends to collect one of every type of machine, HP 9000, i386 portable...)
asks me to find a MacIntosh program to read Hewlett Packard
graphics language, ideally to get HPGL into MacDraw.  
  I have collected your nice postings on THINK C and beginning Mac
programming books for him and me.
  Now do you have any suggestions for the particular problem?  He
says there are Mac CAD pgms that generate HPGL, so there must be
some that read it?
  Thanks.
