Dear fellownetters,

We are provided a series of pictures in "CGM" formatted files, and
have a lot of VT340 terminals for our users.

Question 1. Does any of you know a conversion program from CGM in
either "sixel" or "regis"(preferred).

Question 2. Does any of you know what how the CGM-format is spelled.

Thanks.

None that I'm aware of, though there are several University-produced
(and hence cheap or PD) CGM interpreter `kits'; plugging a library on
the tail end of such things is typically not terribly difficult.

The spec of the format (I assume that's what you're after) is
contained in ISO/IEC 8636-1 to -4.  Sadly, even though that's just
been revised, due to a cock-up by CEN/CENELEC the revised version may
not be published (REALLY!) as a national standard in Europe.  The
latest version is therefore only available (very expensive) direct
from ISO in Geneva, or (presumably) from ANSI and other non-European
national bodies.
