I have the same problem. And I suppose, lots of people have, too.
And everyone needs a BGI file for different devices. (I need it
for HP LaserJet II, for example).

Let's generalize the question: Does anyone know the structure of
the .BGI files? Is it published somewhere? Or even more, is there
a sample source code for a sample device to generate a .BGI file?

Thank YOU for ANY help.
