Subject: Slice data formats (incl HPGL)
Dear RP Community,
     I have been watching the messages on data exchange formats with great interest. There is so much there that I have been collecting them together to read through again later with greater care. But I can offer a question on slice formats:
     I have not seen any mention of HPGL. I understand that the F&S machine in Germany accepts HPGL, and that this is something of a standard in 2-D plotting. Can someone give me the pros and cons of using HPGL for sending slice data to a fabricator? Also, I understand that F&S has published some comments on HPGL. Can someone send me, or point me to, that document or article?
