I have the unenviable task of taking a VWS/UIS meta-file and convert it to
print on a 4693-DX printer attached to a Sun workstation.  

The HCUIS software on the VAX/VMS can convert the meta-file to REGIS,
Sixel, or HPGL.   The printer (or associcated software) will read
Tektronix GRF format or Sun Raster format.

Has anyone ever attempted this before, or does anyone have any
documentation that describes these formats.

I have downloaded the pbmplus package but have not had time to go through
it completely yet.

P.S.   I am posting this to a few lists, sorry for any duplications.
