If you had Draw2000 or XCad for the Amiga, you could read in HPGL files
and save them in IFF format. I don't know of any HPGL to IFF
converters, although we do have HPGL to Postscript and IFF to
PostScript converters.

How about postscript to iff?

| One thing that might do the trick is HiJack, the commercial conversion
program. It has been discussed here elsewhere. It's available for
MS-DOS and should be out for the Amiga (at least RSN). I believe
that it will generate EPS files from IFF for you.
Another solution might be Professional Draw.

I checked into hijack, and its good but $$$ expensive (>$100).
I was really looking for something a little cheaper.

The EPS stuff has been already discussed either here or on UseNet,
and since I vaguely remember it being a subset of PostScript, you
might get away with a PS2IFF converter. But where you get such a
beasty beats me. ;-)

Encapsulated Postscript isn't a subset of postscript. It's full-blown
postscript that is carefully written (or machine generated) so that it
can be dropped in to another postscript file at any point.
Programs that read EPS files don't really know what the postscript
commands are doing. Instead, the EPS file contains a bitmap image
of the results of the postscript commands. The editor or desktop
publishing program shows the bitmap when you are laying out the page,
but send the actual postscript to the printer to get the final
output.

| Professional Page can generate EPS files,but still is not able to
read them. I hope this changes in the future.The files in .0 are
they color or what? I have little knowledge of other picture formats
that are in use on the IBM,and Mac.

| These are in color, assorted pie graphs and such. However the color
isn't important considering that a quick fill in D-paint III will repair
them to there natural state.
On the IBM side.
I've tried a few "Gif capture programs" But where one succeeded in
capturing the picture, it wouldn't convert.
All of them are for "EGA" captures or "VGA" captures.
All I got right now is a "CGA Interpeted" Vaxmate.
So I'm not even shure if it captured it correctly.
Thanks,
Toby

| 3009.9 | not quite the answer you seek | HYSTER::DEARBORN | Trouvez Mieux | Thu Oct 12 1989 09:48 | 7 |
| The newest version of Professional Page can import Encapsulated
Postscript files. I don't know how it displays them though. I
know that with some Mac desktop packages, they only display them
as reference rectangles...not much help to you.
