Hi,

Does somebody knows if a ps2vds exist ?

I explain, we need a translator from VDS to PostScript.

( VDS = Versatec Data Standard )

We have here a wonderful V3424 color plotter from Versatec(XeroX) 
It is a 24 In 400 dpi with roll paper.

We CANNOT plot anything else that MENTOR-GRAPHICS plots ... 
Because we only have a MG driver for this color plotter 
(which, of course, prints ONLY Mentor graphics files).

The positive thing is the driver accept tranparent spool.

So we would like to generate a VDS file with a PS file.

Is it possible ?
