I support the idea of using HPGL to transmit the graphic representation of a circuit, and an ASCII net description. Those of you advocating the use of POSTSCRIPT should remember that while it is a standard, it is a standard for big machines, and some people (like me) are going to have to write a filter to convert the uploaded material; I do not envision myself developing an enourmous program to interpret POSTSCRIPT files. HPGL sounds like a format that can be easily converted, perhaps in as few as 200 lines of BASIC (please! no flames. I have nothing better and am a starving student.) -Rich Richard Kottke richardk@puff.cs.wisc.EDU
