I know that this question has been around one or more times, but at the
time I didn't pay much attention.  Now, however, someone has asked me if
I could get hold of a PostScript to HPGL converter.  It seems to me that
the minimum required is a PostScript interpreter, and as such a thing
just has to exist somewhere I thought I'd rather ask here than reinvent
the wheel (or *a* wheel, at least :-)).
So, does anyone know if such a program already exists, and if not,
are there any similar programs wherein a PostScript interpreter is
imbedded (and of which the source is available; we could always add
our own HPGL translator).
(I guess you should know that there is one additional problem: we don't
have an anonymous ftp possibility from our place in the hierarchy.)
E-mail, please.

Thanks for everyone's patience; may your 'kill'-key last forever.
