There was a recent request which, alas, I did not save so I can't
attribute it, which asked for information concerning a BGI driver
for HP laser. I too have an interest in this and take the liberty of
perhaps expanding on what is meant.
  It would be nice to use all the Turbo graphics routines to drive
a hard-copy graphics device such as a Laser since a page of laser
graphics can be regarded as an array of pixels. The output from the
program would either be a direct drive to the laser or the
production of a file for off-line plotting.
  An additional useful driver would be one that produced HPGL output
either on-line to a plotter or off-line to a file. This might be an
order of magnitude more difficult as raster-to-vector conversions
would be required.
  Anything out there??
