Immediate need for a CGM validator.  If you have any knowledge that could
lead us to obtaining such an item, PLEASE e-mail me ASAP.

We need a tool that will read a CGM file and determine if it conforms to
the ANSI spec.  As a last resort, if we could find a couple utilities that
simply read and manipulate CGM files, this could almost work for us.

Any information, greatly appreciated.

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.
