Greetings,

I was introduced to TMG just 2 weeks ago when a gentleman came to my
office to have a chart plotted. He acquired the appropriate driver for
my older HP Designjet 220, and used a GEDCOM and another chart utility
program to plot an HP compatible file. He brought the file to my
office and I backed my computer out to DOS and did a "COPY/b
HIS-FILE.plt PRN:" Then stood sheet feeding 24"x36" paper to the plotter
for the next 3 hours! The roll feed of your plotter would have been
nice. In hind sight, I should have plotted it from an older system
instead of my CAD station. He gladly paid my rate for the high quality
plots, so the boss was okay with it.

I have the name of the above mentioned chart utility at work and will
pass it on later

Respectfully,
Kurt
