A CONVERTER ? Huh ??

Draw plus, like many Aegis products, uses an ascii file to control various
things. In Draw+'s case, the 'driver' files are ascii files that tell draw what
to to output before a page, before a move (pen up) and before a draw, (pen
down). I was at Aegis once, talking to Bill Volk. I mentioned I had a
postscript printer and he went "oh", and sat down and asked me four 
questions (how do you draw a line in PostScript, etc.) and in about 2 1/2
minutes bapped out a PostScript driver file for Draw Plus.

Rather embarresing but I never tried using it. I have no need for Draw Plus.
Don't tell Bill. ;-)

I still have it someplace tho...
