Hmm - interesting.  I wonder if there are other packages that can also 
manipulate HPGL.

I don't actually have CorelDraw and can't really justify buying it just 
for that.  (There's also the issue that I run GNU/Linux on the desktop 
and that using CorelDraw would involve firing up Windows through VMWare, 
which does tend to slow the system down a bit).

Have to do a bit of Googling to see if there are any other tools out 
there that talk HPGL.

Thanks for the tip.

Cheers
