We are developing a 2D and 3D plotting program under UNIX and DOS (X Windows
and MS Windows), and need to be able to send the plots ot several devices,
for example, laser printers, versatec plotters (electrostatic and pen), dot
matrix printers, etc.  We also need to be able to produce CGM format files.

On the UNIX side, we are using UNIRAS-FGL for our drivers, but on the PC,
we haven't found a set of drivers or whatever that will produce CGM files.  We
are currently considering a product called BabyDriver II, but it only seems
to support printers and plotters, no CGM.

So, we are in need of a package similar to UNIRAS, but for a PC, wether it
be commercial or publid comain.  Any info would be appreciated.  Thanks!
