I have most of the HP Graphics Language on my website www.tech-diy.com

If you are using a program like Ultiboard, note that the command "AA"
Arc Absolute which is used to create circles, should be modified.
Ultiboard specified a 1 degree arc which takes forever to print. You
can modify the output by downloading the program output as a text
file into Notepad or MSWord (if using the latter, remember to save
only as a ∗.txt file). Do a REPLACE, searching for ==> ,1; and
replace with ==> ,15; . This specifies a 15 degree chord (you can
use 30, 45, 90 whatever, but 90 will give you a square, not a circle!)
