I am looking for a an HPGL to postscript converter.  It doesn't
have to handle color, but that would be nice. Please respond
via email.

We have written a sun raster to postscript converter (xcras2ps) that
converts sun raster files to color PS and also an XWD to color PS
converter (xwd2ps) for X11 window dumps.  These programs use the
colorimage operator.  We use them for making transparencies or crude
hardcopy plots of portions of our screens.  We can also paste the
postscript output into INTERLEAF documents as an EPS file.  They are
far from perfect, but with a little trouble, they are adequate for the
job.
