To answer my own question, I found a couple of hpgl to dxf converters after
a bit of web searching. HP2Design Pro by Tailor Made Software
(www.tailormade.com)seems to work pretty well. Everything comes out in
paper space, of course, and a separate layer can be created in the dxf for
each colour in the layout. So by planning ahead and a bit of renaming later
you can restore all of your layers in the dxf. Now if I can just figure out
how to rescale it I'll be laughing.
