  In the last months I've seen a couple of requests for an HPGL to
PostScript converter. I wrote such a program half a year ago, and I know
of other implementations of the same idea. I wrote it because I didn't
like the way the other programs handled pen thickness (which changed
according to scaling). I never got around to write any docs, however,
and the program can handle all of HPGL except for alpha commands (yes,
it does handle filled polygons).

  I tried to contact each requester a couple of times, but it always
bounced back, so I'm trying this. If you are interested, please send
mail to the address below (if possible suggesting a working back path),
I'll answer as quickly as I can.
