I have a client who has some Sun-3's doing chip design.  They are now
hooking up a 42-inch Versatec but haven't yet found software to convert
from GDS-II "Stream" format, which is what their CAD package outputs,
to anything the 4.2BSD spooler can handle.

Is there a public domain program for plotting from this format, or
for converting it to another usable format, e.g. plot(5) or raster?
We'll buy commercial software if no PD shows up...let us know.
