[comp.os.msdos.misc] Postscript questions

cleland@sdbio2.ucsd.edu (Thomas Cleland) (11/28/90)

Greetings!  Can noble souls out there help me with two problems?

First, I need to find a utility for converting HPGL plotter
language to Postscript, including source if possible.  We're
trying to set up an easy and integrated environment for sending
electrophysiological data recording time-slices to a Postscript
printer over a TOPS network.  Any help would be vastly
appreciated and will contribute to the advance of science  :^)

Second, can anyone tell me the DOS command needed to dump a 
Postscript file from disk to Postscript printer?  I hear that
it's just a matter of copying it  (to LPT2: in my case), but
I don't want a copy of the Postscript source code.  How can I 
get it to interpret the Postscript rather than print the source?
If it requires a utility, can you point me towards it?

Many thanks for all your help.  For my sake and the net's,
please
reply via e-mail to 'tcleland@ucsd.edu'.  Thanks again.
