I use a HP750C plotter at work to do just that. From memory I think windows
98 already had this driver, if not you can pick it up at the Hewlettpackard
.com (or something like that) web site. Then just add a printer the way you
normally do in Win 98 or Win 95. Set the details section to print to a file.
When printing from Visual Chart go to page setup, select the HP750 printer
then the page size etc (you can also set up a custom page). Just print
normally. If the resultant file is too large I zip it up (might span 2
floppy disks).

I take this to the other computer and in DOS type "Copy ***.prn LPT*"
Where ***.prn is the name of the output file from Visual Chart
and LPT* is the port for the HP750.

This method will work for any software where you do not have that printer.
