Hi TeX-Fans, i'm searching for a TeX-Tool named METAPLOT (not METAFONT!), that converts HP-GL-Files (from CAD-Programms) into METAFONT-Sources. Can anyone me tell about this tool, and where i can get it ? ---- MfG/Regards Wolfgang Meier Nixdorf Computer AG, PBE-422 Heinz-Nixdorf-Ring, D-4790 Paderborn ___________________________________________ Tel: [49]-(05251)-105815 /__ / Europe: unido!nixpbe!wmeier.pad ____________________________________/ / USA: linus!nixbur!wmeier.pad

Can anyone me tell >about this tool, and where i can get it ? Metaplot is described (with only a few lies) in TUGboat, Vol. 10, No. 2, July, 1989. It includes a bare-bones line plot translator that currently runs on Amiga or MS-DOS machines, along with metafont and tex macro packages which are, of course, machine-independent. It's available as shareware, but there are several bugs that need to be fixed before I give it to Don Hosek for ftp access -- the current version will not work for printers that don't have square pixels. 8-( Konrad Neuwirth (A4422DAE@awiuni11.bitnet) has kindly volunteered to mail the software to European users, but he won't be back home in Austria until September 18 -- so if you want the current (buggy) version sooner than that, send me e-mail saying whether you want Amiga or MS-DOS 3-1/2" or 5-1/4" diskette format. --Pat Wilcox e-mail wilcox@cis.ohio-state.edu snail mail 6617 Home Road -- Delaware, OH 43015 -- U.S.A. phone (614)881-5032
