/* ---------- "Need help on Plotting HPGL files" ---------- */

	I have some graphics files in HPGL format generated in an Apollo and
want to plot it on a HP Plotter connected to an IBM PC.  How would I go about
doing this? Please help me.  I already have the files transferred to my PC.

Please email to

sivanes@milton.acs.washington.edu

Thanks in advance.

Assuming they are uncorrupted, simply type the following at the dos prompt:

[d:][path]filename > com1

(assuming of course, that you plotter is attached to com1 (the RS232 port on 
most machines...)  )
