commands to /dev/plot. You have to select the type of plotter connected
to that device. We typically used a named pipe named /dev/plot to
collect the data and process it as we owned no plotters. I had a program
which converted the HP-GL commands that 20/20 was outputting, and
converted them to libplot commands. The libplot commands were then
converted into bit-mapped operations for a HP LaserJet II printer.
Your milage will vary, of course, depending on what hardware you have at
your disposal.
