HP Graphics Curator/3000 on MPE XL
by Claudia Carpenter--Personal Software Division
HP Graphics Curator/3000 is a quick and easy application that lets you
convert, in either direction, between HP 3000 figure files (used by
DSG/3000 and TDP/3000) and Gallery picture files (used by PC applications
such as Drawing Gallery and Executive MemoMaker).
You can use a Graphics Gallery product on your personal computer to
create a picture, then use HP Graphics Curator/3000 to convert the
picture to a format compatible with HP 3000 applications. Likewise, you
can use DSG/3000 to create a figure, and Curator to convert it for use
with the Gallery products.
There are two ways to run HP Graphics Curator/3000:
* Interactive mode: to convert individual figures or pictures in a
simple, menu-prompted way.
* Command mode: to convert one or many figures or pictures with a
single command.
Because there is no menu interaction, you can use Command mode with MPE
User-Defined Commands (UDCs) or AdvanceLink command files. Sample files
are provided with the product, demonstrating the use of Command mode with
these other utilities.
NOTE HP Graphics Curator/3000 on MPE XL converts ONLY between HP 3000
figure files and Graphics Gallery picture files. Since HP
Draw/3000 is not being offered on XL, the Draw to Gallery file
conversion option is not available.
