I have a program that creates HPGL (Hewlet Packard Graphics Language) files that are meant to be outputted to either a pen plotter or any device (or translator) that can read HPGL files. What I am really interested in would be a program (such as "Designer" - a MacDraw-like program for the IBM) that could read or import such files so that they can be edited and then sent to a laser printer. Designer is very nice and it can read a variety of file types, such as TIF, but it can't read HPGL. One possibility would be a translator program that can convert HPGL files to TIF or some other common vector file format. All advice appreciated, -- -.- Mark Yeager -> yeager@cgeuge52.bitnet yeager@sc2a.unige.ch University of Geneva, Dept. of Biochemistry, CH-1211 Geneva 4, Switzerland

I have heard of a product called 'Plotter in a Cartridge' from Pacific Data Products which causes the LJ2 to emulate HPGL commands. I have also heard that the LJIII has a built in HPGL emulater. +=============================================================+ | Ben H.
