The shareware package "PRINTGL" reads HPGL files and outputs them to a wide variety of formats. There is even an option to output in HPGL format. I'd always thought this was a pretty silly feature, but perhaps the PRINTGL authors put it in to solve problems like yours. I got PRINTGL from c.b.i.p several months ago; try archie. -- ---------------------------------------------------- Gordon S.
