Posted for a colleague here at these labs:

"Does anyone know of a translator (preferably for running under VMS) for
Computer Graphics Metafiles to any CAD system? Most CAD systems have IGES
readers etc plus a propietary format, but we are seeking to use the CAD system
to edit CGM files and write the CGM back out to a file. Intermediate
translators would also suffice.

The CGM scaling mode must be properly supported and it would be better if the
CAD system is capable of editing pictures containing more than 16 colours. (up
to 256 colours)."

Hopefully someone on the net can point him in the right direction :-)

	thanx,
