Problem

Symptoms: A customer's .HPGL files are not retrieving. The user receives the message "Loading Plotter File.." followed by "Bad Format." The customer has tried to use GRAPHCNV.EXE (03/30/90) with the same results. The files were created in a software package called Bachman and printed in an HPGL format using a cartridge by Pacific Data Products called Plotter in a Cartridge. Solutions: Support for the ER and FR commands was added with the 12/31/90 release of WP, but did not work correctly until the 05/31/91 release. Below is a list of the currently supported commands. This list was taken from the 01/91 printing of the Developer's Toolkit.
