Does any one know of software that will produce HPGL output from a screendump via printscreen or from a file encoded with laser jet or postscript code. Actually, any graphics format file will be a start. I am interested in saving a graphic image on the screen for immediate (preferred) delayed plotting on an HPGL plotter. I do not have a tektronix terminal. The product PIZAZZ does not seem applicable, but I may be wrong. Thanks in advance. Allen Gordon

May be a roundabout way, but if you have WordPerfect, you'll find it offers an often overlooked utility called GRAB.COM, a TSR which allows you to clip screen images and save them as WordPerfect Graphic files (.WPG), past them into documents, and print them on any WP supported printer. If you must have HP code in file, you could print to a file from WP. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rick Rutledge {hoptoad|ucsfcca|claris}!wet!rick rick@wet.UUCP "Voici le secret." dit le renard.
