I must add my vote to this request.  I don't use the HP graphics
package partly for the above reasons.  We have a LaserWriter,
about 10 4010/4014/4105 emulators on Mac's and IBM compatables,
5 Z-19's with 4010 graphics boards, 3 HP-9020A graphics screens,
and 4 HP pen plotters.  We wrote our own package.

The other reason for writing our own was that we have other computers
besides HP.  So a standard would be extremely useful.  Perhaps the 
world will come to that.
