We have a copy of JPL's old Fortran CIFPLOT.  It reads CIF files and will plot
them on HP graphics terminals or HP plotters (7221 or 7550, which is HPGL).
Right now it dumps the HPGL to a file on /tmp, but it's a one-line hack
(uncomment a line in the plotter driver routine) to make it put the file in
the printer queue, and it will do the CIF->HPGL conversion you want if stdin
is redirected from a 3-line file "DEV 7550\nPLOT\nQ\n".  If nothing better pops
up, send me mail and I'll reply with ftp instructions.
This version understands current MOSIS layer names, but no user extension
commands to the CIF language.
