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
