); SAEximRunCond expanded to false Errors-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] RETRY I could be wrong but it seems to me that the 7475 did support HPGL in ASCII form. I used to use the older versions of AutoCAD which had built in drivers for it. I've written a graphics program that outputs in HPGL. I use Corel Photo Paint 8 to convert the files to almost any other graphics format.
