My company needs a filter to convert HPGL (the Hewlett-Packard
Graphics Language for pen plotters) to Postscript.  Is there any
available?

I would like a PostScript to HPGL filter if such a thing is possible.
Anybody?  Anybody?  (I am also looking for an HPGL {filter,driver} for
nroff.)

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.

I have seen `n' dozen request for a HPGL to Postscript filter coming out of
the States and each time I see one I post to those asking that Don McCormick
at the CSIRO Division of Applied Physics here in Australia has such a beast.
The problem is I don't know what Don's address is. If Don reads this group
he may well post a followup. However I will leave it up to you enterprising guys
in the States to try and find out what his address is. It shouldn't be too
hard to find. Start with the UUCP maps find the site that corresponds to the
CSIRO Divison of Applied Physics and post to Postmaster at that sight asking
for Don's address.
