I haven't had much use for the program so far, but I'm pretty sure it will allow you to view an HPGL file on a screen by converting the HPGL file to what HiJaak calls a .PIX file, which HiJaak knows how to display. The displayed resolution will of course be rather crude compared to that of a 7475 plotter. -- Howard Spindel - via FidoNet node 1:105/14 UUCP: ...!{uunet!oresoft, tektronix!reed}!busker!14.8!Howard.Spindel ARPA: Howard.Spindel@p8.f14.n105.z1.FIDONET.ORG
