Version 3.1.4 of the GNU HP-GL converter "hp2xx" is now available for
anonymous ftp from clio.rz.uni-duesseldorf.de [134.99.128.3]
in the file ./hp2xx/hp2xx-3.1.4.tar.gz

GNU hp2xx reads HP-GL files, decomposes all drawing commands into
elementary vectors, and converts them into a variety of vector and raster
output formats. It is also a HP-GL previewer. Currently supported are:

  Vector formats:
       Encapsulated PostScript
       Uniplex RGIP
       Metafont, and various special TeX-related formats
       Simplified HP-GL (line drawing only), for imports

  Raster formats:
       IMG, PBM, PCX, HP-PCL (including Deskjet & DJ5xxC support)

  Previewers:
       UNIX: X11, OS/2: PM & Full-screen, DOS: (S)VGA & HGC,
       ATARI, AMIGA, VAX: UIS



Version 3.1.4 contains a few fixes to V 3.13 (mainly typos), and an improved
(EPSF conforming) version of to_eps.c.

For details, see file ./hp2xx/changes


Please note that the ftp server "clio" is overloaded -- don't try to access
it directly except at off-office hours (18:00 - 08:00 GMT+1), or better:

  ***  Wait until the hp2xx files are copied
  ***    to the major GNU distribution sites -- Thanks !
