Re: [MacPerl] HPGL to x,y coor. files

Eric,

You'll need to be more specific.
HPGL can be fairly involved, with characters,
encoded polygons, spline curves,
boxed or rounded line segment connections, etc.

Do you want to want to output a point-by-point representation of the
line, just the control points, a stroke representation of characters, etc.?

Parsing HPGL is certainly within the capabilities of PERL (although
most folks use "C").
