The Virtual Device Metafile seems a proper medium. Does anyone know there is a metafile interpreter exist on other UNIX machine for the Virtual Device Metafile? 3) I have tried to cu a metafile to another UNIX machine but fail in the middle. I think it is because the metafile contains some binary data. According to the manual, Virtual Device Metafile is a ANSI standard metafile. Can somebody tell me what is a ANSI standard metafile? 4) Does anyone know the format of the Virtual Device Metafile? Thanks in advance. Chi Choy whuts!choy WH 3A326 x3035
