I am looking for a piece of software that will convert PostScript output
from a Macintosh application (MicroPlanner X-Pert) into HP-GL (or Benson,
etc) so I can send large drawings to an A0 plotter. The plotter is an
AppleTalk device on the network and I have an init that captures stuff
sent to the serial port and gets it to the plotter but I need to send it
HPGL (or Benson, etc) code to get it to work.

If anybody has a solution to this dilema I would be most appreciated (A
piece of software on a UNIX box would also be nice).

Please Email all replies to rodney@cssc-syd.tansu.oz.au as I don't always
get to read this newsgroup.

Thanks.
