A new termcap entry has been added for the line attached to the plotter.
It is called "hpgl" and basically describes a very dumb terminal.
Plot(1) now recognizes hpgl from the TERM environment variable and invokes
the hpgl(1) filter. To make a plot, one must sign on to the terminal
associated with the plotter (currently in the machine room) and simply pipe
any graphical output to plot. For example,
graph | plot
