Specifically, we have an x-y plotter, which is a Tektronix 4662, and >would like to know if there exists a Macintosh application to drive this >plotter. We are willing to spend money for this. There are several major plotting programs for the Mac. Recently, MacWorld ran an article comparing several plotting packages in Oct 86 issue titled: "The Power behind the Plotter". None of the packages reviewed indicated any support for a Tektronix 4662 driver, but you might want to contact these vendors anyway to see if they have any suggestions (or may provide a driver to you upon request).
