Hamish,
Where I work the engineering drawings are archived in HPGL format and we
view them through a program called Preview. When I want to pass them on to
a vendor or someone in procurement, I simply insert the picture into a Word
document. The standard import filters for Word won't handle HPGL but if you
go to this article
(http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q196/5/06.ASP) you'll find
the file Hpgl32.exe which gives you the converter. It's rough workaround
but it works.

Subject: Off Topic: Printing HPGL files
I have an old programme that prints out HPGL (plotter) files on an old
inkjet - unfortunately the printer has just given up the ghost and my new
printer does not work with the old software.
Does anyone know of a utility that will allow me to convert old HPGL files
to something that I can print out?
Thanks in advance,
Hamish Hawthorn
