CONTENTS: 1. GENERAL 2. VIRUS CHECK 3. LICENCE 4. DISCLAIMER 1. GENERAL: *** The current version of HP2TeX is 1.20a **** HP2TeX is a program, that converts a HPGL Plot file into a syntax, that it can be processed with emTeX. This makes the output of chart programs or CAD programs useable for emTeX. emTeX can draw lines of any gradient, so only TeX programs that share this capability will work with the output of HP2TeX. (This feature is known from CS-TeX for the ATARI.) HP2TeX's output file is compatible with TeXcad, a Cad program for emTeX. Additionally, a program called HPopt is added to the package. HPopt is a program to search double lines and to connect lines with the same gradient. This reduces the number of lines when processing with HP2TeX, and of course with emTeX. The complete package containes the following files: What_it.is This file hp2tex__.zip Archive containing: \emtex\bin\HP2TeX.EXE HP2TeX Executable \emtex\bin\HPopt.EXE HPopt Executable \emtex\doc\History.h2t History of HP2TeX and HPopt \emtex\doc\HP2TXPIC.DVI Example of HPGL-Plots in emTeX \emtex\doc\german\HP2TeXGE.DVI Documentation (German) \emtex\doc\english\HP2TeXEN.DVI Documentation (English) \emtex\texinput\emlines2.sty Makro The archive can be unpacked with pkunzip -d -o hp2tex__ ****** READ INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE !! ******* 2.
