I have uploaded to SIMTEL20: pd1:<msdos.autocad> ADIPLT.ZIP Plot to TEK & DEC LJ250 mainframe printers It is a filter that allows printing of AutoCAD plot output on TEKtronix style laser printers and DEC LJ250 color dot-matrix printers. This is a notoriously common situation, since AutoCAD supports "pc type" printers and hi-end plotters, but not the type of laser printers that most mainframes (VAX) have hanging around. Those of us with a PC workstation hanging off a VAX have a hard time getting quick output on the local printers. This package is two programs, each one a filter using the ADI (generic autocad device interface) binary format for input. The source code is included, so that people can make minor mods for their own setup if they want. Documentation and executables are included. Jeff Casey (617)253-0885 casey@alcvax.pfc.mit.edu
