- Well, not having read FAQs: He wants HPGL, not HP-PCL! Plotters do not come
- as matrix printers - that is until recently, until the invention of
- bubble jet plotters :-)

- One reason I can give you - not the original poster of the question:
- One of my programs sorts through tons of data and produces ugly looking
- PS output. I've a CAD program, which eats HPGL. That would allow me to
- import the data, then edit the final looking of a plot before sending it
- to a PS printer again. MAy be an awful way. May be I should resort to
- scissors and glue...

- I volunteer to take another one :-)
