There is a very good CGM comformance tester *NOT* public domain from CGM Technology Software
called Metachek. If you can afford to pay for it, it is very useful in determining if the CGM file
is bad, or the interperter has a bug. Well worth the money.
I can't remember how to contact the company, but if you have interest, let me know, I will find that
info.
