Kyle

Please note the smiley!  Can either be done.  It would be really nice
if a stand alone filter existed that went either way.  We have files
that are in both formats and we need to merge them into one document so
either filter would be useful.  Of course, a HPGL to Postscript would
still be my choice as I generate a lot more Postscript than HPGL.

Please help those of us that are not really in the thick of things when
it comes to filters.
