Description:
hp2ps is an HP-GL interpreter that is written in Postscript. It runs mostly on the printer itself. There is a small C program, provided mainly to circumvent Postscript's problems with the ^C character, which is a prominent part of HPGL's text support. The C program is not necessary if the HP-GL does not contain text, or uses a different label terminator.

Version 1.9c appears lost - anyone who has a copy, please send it to the author.

Restriction:
hp2ps is free for most use - distribution with commercial products, or use in a commercial setting requires agreement with the author, and possible licencing fees.
Updated:
1993/10
