The program that you are looking for is indeed available and was included with
MultiplotXLNb.  Although presumably written by an
"amateur" it actually works rather quickly - writing a HPGL to Postscript
converter is mostly just a task of converting HPGL penmoves to
stroke commands.  Writing a general purpose Postscript interpreter is
a more complex task.
  What I would like to see/try is a HPPLOT: device for postscript
printers.  This could in principle be a lot faster than the PLT:
device which works well but slowly due to all that data transfer.
  Re where to get HPGL2PS1.2?  It was written by Rudolph Werner
of Coral Gables, Florida USA. - Thanks Rudolph!
Don't know any more than that - our user group here in Vancouver had it on the
monthly disk.
