Has anyone modified the System V graphics stuff to talk to a 7470A?  It
currently wants to talk to a 7221A, which used "special compacted binary
format" for fast service over slow modems.  HP has given up on that
plotter language, and doesn't even sell 7221's any more, but the Bell
software still cherishes the format.

Trying to avoid touching Sys V code,

PS: Do they pay those people extra to not comment their stuff?
