I don't think it's possible to translate these maps into HPGL. I use all
kinds of features that PostScript has that HPGL just can't do--rotated
letters, elongated and compressed fonts, white letters on a black background,
as well as things that are tricky and space-consuming in HPGL (cubic
splines).

I just got a color 11x17 PostScript printer, and I'm going to try to
produce some of the maps in color. Tee hee.
