RE: PLOT FILES
In the old DOS days you could use the following command
copy *.plt PRN
Hopes this helps.

*.prn is a plot file made by "Vector Works" for example (and more?)...
Important is the driver which was used to create this *.prn-file...

RE: PLOT FILES
When i try to do that command, the command starts running but nothing happens. I was trying to figure out, what the prn is for and where is this plot file being copied to?
RE: PLOT FILES
Go to the directory where the plot files are located
if your printer is connected to the lpt1 printer port, then type in the following command:
copy *.plt lpt1
or
type in this command if printer is on a network:
copy *.plt \\servername\sharename
example:
c:\temp>copy *.plt \\engineer\hp-plotter
engineer is the name of the computer
hp-plotter is the name of the printer
hope this helps
RE: PLOT FILES
then you can "copy xxx.plt lpt1:" - ".plt" must be produced
for Your hardware.If it is not:
if '.plt' file is hp-gl (hewlettpaccard plotter language)
you can import into coreldraw, other drawing programs, or even msword (last version). More important is what kind of
printer or plotter You have.
If You do not know what type is Your file and Your computer is mswindows, send to me file:
stefan63@abv.bg and specify type of Your printer.
