This directory contains the sample source files for:
	
	hpgl2scr	HPGL to AutoCAD script conversion tool.

	
CONTENTS:

	README		This file.
	Makefile	Makefile to rebuild program.
	hpgl2scr	The program.
	hpgl2scr.doc	The program documentation.
	prohoops.plt	A sample HP-GL plot file from AutoCAD.
	prohoops.scr	A sample AutoCAD script file from the above data.
	prohoops.dwg	A sample AutoCAD drawing drawn by the above script.
	prohoops.rgb	A screen snapshot of the above drawing in AutoCAD.
	hpgl2scr.c	ANSI-C source code for the program.


USAGE:

	hpgl2scr [plotfile{.plt}]

	The output script file is written to plotfile.scr.  To input
	the script file into AutoCAD, start AutoCAD, create any desired
	layer, color and linetype information you wish to use, then
	load an run the script file using AutoCAD's _SCRIPT command.
	When the script completes running, you will have the raw data
	in the AutoCAD drawing.


NOTE:

	This program has been tuned and optimized for the Irix operating
	system as compared to the original public-domain version that is
	widely available on many FTP and BBS systems.  Also, a number of
	serious bugs have been fixed.  It has been tested on a number of
	very large plot files and the speed and performance is
	exceptional.
