We have an Apple LaserWriter connected to our VM/CMS system which is
being used as a departmental line printer.  The department also wants
to use the LaserWriter to produce graphical output, especially from
SAS/GRAPH, Minitab, and S.

We're looking for conversion programs that will convert graphics files
produced by these software packages to equivalent Postscript command
files.  Ideally, we'd like to find a single program that will work for
all three packages.  This probably means converting a device-dependent
file for a device understood by all the packages -- probably an HP or
Tektronix style device.
