I've just about finished writing a program to view HPGL programs on the
screen.  "Just about finished" is probably a bit generous - it goes but
many HPGL instructions are missing.  Currently it enables me to view printed
circuit board layouts and works with the graphics output from Quattro-Pro as
well.   

It's written in Turbo Pascal and uses the BGI toolbox.  I'm not prepared
to release it in its present state - there are another couple of HPGL
instructions that really have to be added before this could be done.  If
anyone want's a copy (when it's finished) - send me some email.

Cheers
Giovanni

PS. Isn't "Finished" a horrible concept when applied to software :-)
