What is included in the software that HP provides for the Mac to HP connection?
Except Kermit that is.  I assume that there is something to translate GROBs to
some Mac graphics format.  What else?  I don't want to throw in an extra $60
for the cable and software package, but I want to get the full benefits of the
ability to connect my mac and HP, both of which I use incessantly.

Could some kind soul describe the software that HP provides and give their
opinion on its usefulness.  Also, how difficult would it be to program the
portions of the HP software myself (except for Kermit, of course)?  Has anyone
developed anything of this sort?  I have MPW Pascal and C compilers on my 
SE/30, but I am not a superb programmer by any means, especially when dealing
with the Mac interface.

Thanks in advance for any help that anyone might provide.
