	Applications, such as MS Word, Excel, Power Point..., have graphic 
insert filters for HPGL. Corel will also import HPGL files. 
	There are printing programs that interpret HPGL & HPGL/2 files. Print 
Gl is a shareware program that will do this. I use Print A Plot which does 
the same thing, but cost more. I also have a program called Squiggle designed 
for changing the line characteristics of HPGL & HPGL/2 files. However, it not 
a requirement to change the line style, and the files can be read in and 
printed to the system printer. You also get an on screen preview with the 
capability of resizing and moving the image. You can also export in BMP and 
WMF. It is a very flexible program, and has several more functions.
	HiJaak will also read HPGL files, although Squiggle is the only one I 
have that will read HPGL/2 files.
	Just some additional ways of doing things.  Rich
