	If your only convcern is to plot your KIC layout on an HP plotter I
think that you may want to use the tools that we use in our lab for this. We
first translate from KIC -> CIF format and then use an HP driver called
"penplot" to plot it on an HP7580 plotter. The program supports many types of
plotters and it may be worth a look.

	The kic2cif filter comes with the KIC2 package from UBCU and I will
find out where the penplot came from if you are interested.

	Sorry if I missuderstood the question.

	Reguards.
