There is a company called Oswego Software (or something like that) that
markets a utility that runs on a DOS machine and reads floppys generated by
an HP instrument.  I would have liked to have used it, but at $495 a copy I
found an alternative solution.  You might check with your local HP rep -
they were the ones that put me on to this outfit.
