This is for a Sun3 running SunOS 4.0.1, if that matters. > I have been using penplot to do just such thing. Penplot takes a CIF input and generates HPGL which goes to the plotter. I think that most of the HP plotters use HPGL as thier interface and thus penplot sould do what you want. There may be a need for minor mods if any to make it run on a diff HP plotter model. I have used it on the HP7580 and HP7550 with no problems. Get in touch with me if you want more info on this. -- ________________________________________________________________________________ Name: Marco Zelada Phone: 617 353 9882, Fax: 353 6322 VLSI CAD Engineer E-mail: marco@buengc.bu.edu Dept: Electrical & Computer Eng.
