- Probably not too bad an idea - HPGL at least provides commands equivalent
- to PostScripts 'moveto' and 'lineto', and even simple filling is possible...

- write a tool to convert this reduced PostScript to HPGL ?

- P.S. I'd be interested in your tool anyway. Could you send me a copy
- via e-mail ?
