You don't need to have HPGL do all that, you could do all that in postscript
then translate the finished product into HPGL. 

I will have to check my ventura publisher program, It can read in all sorts
of files, postscript, AutoCAD, HPGL and it supports many different printers.
I know it supports postscript output, and if it supports HPGL plotters then
I would say that it would handle the translation. Just load in a postscript
drawing and print it out to a file in HPGL. 

BTW while on the subject of postscript conversions, does anyone know of a
way to convert postscript into a format that can be used in a CAD program?
such as DXF, autoCAD files, etc? They are all vector formats.
