I have found several applications
programs that have HP plotter drivers but no
Postscript driver (or inadequate Postscript 
flexibility).

Does anyone know of a Postscript program (or any
other language) which translates HP plotter 
commands into Postscript? I expecially want 
it to translate HP color commands into 
different linewidths.

Surely this has been hacked to death, right?

Thanks

Ren Curry

Ren,

A HPGL to Postscript filter was just posted to comp.sources.misc
by Don McCormick from Austrailia.

I haven't tested it yet but have heard good reviews.  If you can't get
it send me a message and I will see what I can do.

Hope this helps.
