Probably not too bad an idea - HPGL at least provides commands equivalent
to PostScripts 'moveto' and 'lineto', and even simple filling is possible...
(hear the pens crying ? ;-) Is this tool around ? Does it do all the nasty
transformation, scaling, clipping computations etc. ? If so, who's willing to
write a tool to convert this reduced PostScript to HPGL ?
-patsch
P.S. I'd be interested in your tool anyway. Could you send me a copy
via e-mail ?
